“What is the good life? Since the dawn of
history, this enquiry has motivated the
making of art as well as philosophy. But the
many answers to it…were never as radically
shrunk as they were in the 19th century,
when the good life became confused with
the desires and achievements of a tiny
minority.”

The Other Hundred is a worldwide initiative
to present a counterpoint to global media
consensus about some of today’s most
important issues. It provides a better
understanding of the people who make up
our world and the lives they lead.
Through an annual series of 100 photostories, The Other Hundred moves beyond
stereotypes to challenge conventional
wisdom and introduce readers to the vast
majority of people, ideas, places and cultures
overlooked by most major media.

The Other Hundred annual photo-books’ images and stories are gathered through an open call to photographers
around the world challenging them to explore the given theme from a new, fresh perspective.
The inaugural edition was based on
the reality that the vast majority of
people on the planet are not
financially wealthy, yet many lead
rich lives and have discovered
success in different ways.
As a counterpoint to the Forbes 100,
Bloomberg billionaires and countless
other rich lists, The Other Hundred
celebrates ordinary people and the
myriad of ways in which to
measure success.
The second edition of The Other Hundred
is a celebration of everyday Entrepreneurs those who have never written a formal
business plan, hired an investment bank,
planned an exit strategy or dreamt of a
stock market flotation.
The Other Hundred Entrepreneurs features
the efforts of people who for reasons of
necessity, belief, ambition or desire to serve
others take risks and start their own
ventures. It provides rich new perspectives
on entrepreneurship.

The Other Hundred Educators questions the conventional understanding of education and
presents the un-celebrated educators of our times.
These are the people who have pioneered unique ways of teaching and transferring
knowledge and changed the lives of many. Their methods are unorthodox and their pedagogy
rarely recognised. Their contribution to pushing the boundaries of human knowledge is often
times more profound than those found at formal institutions.
Yet they will never feature atop education ranks and lists.
The educators we are looking for come from widely varying walks of life such as the Madrasah
teachers of Tul Banat, Pakistan who teach girls history, Arabic and the Qur’an or educators
from The Edible Schoolyard project in the United States who teach health and nutrition by
converting gardens and kitchens into interactive classrooms.
At its heart, our message is that the world of education is far more diverse and a lot more
interesting than what gets portrayed on nightly news or on the cover of business magazines.
The most valuable educators have a lot more to offer than entry to elite schools.
The third edition of The Other Hundred will be a collection of 100 educators you may have
never heard of but need to know about.
