Nora Tager

Victor "Global X" d'Allant
Former Executive Director, Social Edge

Nora Tager was elected an Ashoka Fellow in 2007 for her work around poverty alleviation in South Africa.

Because the economic situation hasn’t changed that much since the end of Apartheid 14 years ago, she quickly realized that she needed to use strong marketing skills to attract donors’ attention.

That’s why she came up with a catchy acronym for the social venture she launched just before her husband died: the P.E.A.C.E. Foundation –which stands for Planning, Education, Agriculture, Community & Environment.
