Kenyan social entrepreneur Teddy Warria, founder of Common Vocabulary and New Horizons Initiative, visits the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Thursday (Dec. 3) to share his vision for addressing two critical challenges facing Africa on its path to sustainable development – improving public health and expanding access to private capital markets.
The free public lecture, “Health and Sustainable Development in Africa through Private Enterprise and Entrepreneurship,” will be held at 5:30 p.m. in the Nelson Mandela Auditorium of the FedEx Global Education Center. A reception will follow. Those who wish to attend are asked to respond to rsvpkenan@unc.edu.
Co-sponsors for the event are the Frank Hawkins Kenan Institute of Private Enterprise, the economic development arm of UNC’s Kenan-Flagler Business School, and the North Carolina Millennium Village Project, an initiative that mobilizes students and professors to address issues of global poverty and development.
Warria works to stimulate systemic, long-term change in Africa through education, strategic philanthropy, global social entrepreneurship, communications, sustainable tropical health and institution building. He is a public policy and international affairs fellow from the Woodrow Wilson School at Princeton University. Two of his organizations, Common Vocabulary and New Horizons Initiative, were recognized by the Clinton Global Initiative as exemplary university programs committed to addressing critical development issues in Africa.
