ABOUT THIS COURSE
In our fast-paced society, it’s easy to forget about the less fortunate. We’re so busy with our own lives that we sometimes don’t realize there are people out there who are struggling every day just to get by.

Mr Dylan Wilk
Founder, Human Nature
When Dylan Wilk was 25 in 2000, The Guardian newspaper named him the ninth-richest man in Britain under the age of 30. Although his wealth, which came from a computer game empire he built and sold, afforded him all that his heart desired, he was not happy. Then one day, someone convinced him to go to the Philippines and look at initiatives by Gawad Kalinga (GK) Community Development Foundation, a poverty alleviation movement out to end poverty for five million families by 2024. He now runs a highly successful social enterprise, Human Nature, which produces cosmetics and other products. The business combines fair trade and eco-friendly practices to pay higher-than-average salaries and help poor farmers.
