Why Ndoto?
As privileged students, many of us feel pressured to pursue traditionally stable professions such as law, medicine or economics, setting aside noble endeavors in other creative elds. To empower our peers to rise above this notion, we have created a nonprot conference that aims to foster young creativity, encourage entrepreneurship, and present students with innovative methods to make a lasting positive impact on their world. Our extensive list of speakers include a neuropsychologist of creativity who authored an Encyclopedia of Creativity, an ocean conservationist who is a pilot by day and a DJ by night, and even a Grammy Nominee who has worked with world-famous musicians like Michael Jackson and Ringo Starr.

Taking Ndoto Further

Following our conference in Hong Kong, another Ndoto conference will take place in Chennai, India on March 9th, 2013. Its main goal is to introduce students of the lowest caste system in India - the untouchables, to ways that they can aid the development of their community through social and business entrepreneurship. The underprivileged students participating in the Ndoto conference in Chennai, India will be attending free of charge - their costs entirely covered by sponsorships and funds raised in Hong Kong. In other words, every ticket you buy for our conference in Hong Kong will sponsor one underprivileged student to attend our conference in India.
