The Impact Issue, we take inspiration from Margaret Mead's famous quote: “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has”.
After hearing the story of Hannes Schmid, a celebrity photographer who abandoned a glittering career to change the lives of dozens of Cambodian families, I knew we had to feature him as the archetypal impact philanthropist.
Elsewhere in The Impact Issue we hear about the effective approach of the Global Citizen Forum to congregate changemakers, learn from a triplet of billionaires about their philanthropic passions, profile the young innovators pioneering electric technologies, sit down with Sir Ken Olisa, Lord Lieutenant of London and social inclusion advocate, and hear from Joe Cerrell, managing director of the Gates Foundation in Europe, about using AI to build a more equitable world.
And much, much more.
