Greenstar delivers solar power, health, education and environmental programs to small villages in the developing world — and connects people in those villages, and their traditional culture, to the global community.

We work with people in traditional cultures to express the voice of the community to the world through original music, artwork, photography and video and other arts. That voice is connected with respect and dignity to the land, to families, to language, tradition, to the past and to a clear vision of the future. Income from this priceless “digital culture” is used to fund an ongoing, community-driven process of literacy, local business, education and training, public health, and environmental programs.

Center for Social Innovation

As an institution, the Stanford Graduate School of Business believes that business schools have a responsibility to teach students to be innovative, principled, and insightful leaders who can change the world. As such, the Center represents a cornerstone of the School’s multidisciplinary approach to management and leadership education.

We invest our resources in an integrated set of activities that are designed to enhance the leadership and management capacity of individuals who strive to create social and environmental value. The Center leverages Stanford’s knowledge, expertise, and networks, bringing community leaders together with our faculty, students, and alumni to address social problems on several fronts.
