Our Roast (Testimonial) of Christina Kirabo Jordan
February 21st, 2005
Christina,
Great to see you here! For Omidyar.net regulars, we (Sohodojo) met Christina through our mutual participation in the Social Edge on-line community of the Skoll Foundation.
Christina is perhaps a bit too modest to mention in her profile that she is an Ashoka Fellow.
Also, we consider Christina a member of an informal network of kindred spirits working on the re-emergence and re-definition of the Small Is Good World. Each in our own way yet with many similarities, we are exploring the use of Internet technologies to facilitate the creation of sustainable social business ecosystems. These are realized as ‘extended network enterprises’ composed of collaborating individuals and organizations (both non-profit and for-profit). As such, these emerging ‘ecosystems’ present a new challenge for social investors… but this is another whole discussion.
Back to the point, Christina, thanks for the extensive and timely update on your LiA and Echoes projects. We look forward to connecting more with you through the Omidyar Network and directly.
FYI, after 2.5+ years of effort (and painful self-funding), in July Sohodojo finally got our U.S. IRS 501(C)(3) status which required a precedent-setting opinion to validate the ‘extended network enterprise’ model of social business ecosystem that we are talking about here.
We’re going to start a Small Is Good World group and see if we can round up some kindred spirits (and perhaps a funder or two). We’d be interested in hearing from you what, if any, challenges you face in Uganda/Africa in terms of implementing your extended network enterprise/ecosystem.
