Muhammad Yunus and Other Social Entrepreneurs

Two Social Entreprenuers



Andrea and Barry Coleman share a passion for motorcycles. Andrea is a former racer and Barry is a successful journalist and author. Through the racing world, they became involved in fundraising for children in Africa. In 1988, on a visit to Somalia, Barry was unable to reach his destination because his car broke down. That day, he noticed broken vehicles everywhere. On a later trip, he and Andrea saw women in childbirth being carried to the hospital in wheelbarrows. Frustrated that aid agencies abandoned vehicles rather than making basic repairs, the Colemans remortgaged their house and founded Riders for Health (Riders) in 1996 to provide practical solutions to transportation problems in Africa.
