Want to help humanity in a positive way? In his talk, Dr. Dhaval Patel dares to re-think social responsibility initiatives globally with the aim of having sustainable impact. By using his world experiences from Africa, Asia, and South America as mini-case examples, a new way of visualizing social responsibility is offered.

Dr. Dhaval Patel is passionate about helping people, especially in developing communities, where he is working to create a world of sustainable human impact. At the core, he is a thinker, innovator, and risk-taker and has spent the past decades in over 70 countries with Madagascar being one his favorite destinations. Outside of being a Co-Founder and the Chief Executive Officer of iMPOWER Humanity, he is an avid fan of opera, a culinary enthusiast in the kitchen, and a lover of fine espresso. Dhaval’s friends say he is an explorer by nature, so recently his wife of 15 years, his 11-year old son, and he went on a riveting white water trip in the mountains. Although he speaks multiple languages, he failed miserably at learning French.
