“Be selfish, go help someone”, Bobby Sager and social entrepreneurship

Imagine if you were a millionaire and you suddenly decide that instead of buying 5 houses in premium areas or 10 luxury cars, you’ll go on the road with your family in the most devastated places in the planet to simply help and offer hope. This dream and pure desire to offer a sustainable solution and improve the life of people who were less fortunate, was achieved by the Bobby Sager family.

The Sager Family Traveling Foundation and Roadshow began in 2000 when the family made a commitment to travel the world with the hope that they can instigate the efforts of leaders. Since then, Bobby Sager and his family spend 10 months a year on the road and invested on entrepreneurial projects that hold people responsible and give them back a strong sense of honour and achievement.

Bobby Sager is known as an extremely successful entrepreneur, philanthropist, author, photographer and traveller who met touching and powerful public figures such as the Dalai Lama, Nelson Mandela, Bill Clinton or Sting.

His passion for sharing and strong sense of philanthropy pushed Bobby Sager to countries like Congo where he helped a rehabilitation centre for child soldiers. He launched a programme in Rwanda were women from different ethnicity partnered in a business project in spite of the difficult past history.

Bobby Sager also brings hope everywhere he goes. Bobby has taken photographs showing the transcendent power of hope in the eyes of children he met in war-torn countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan and Palestine. These images have been viewed by over 4 million people around the world.

For Bobby, being on the ground and empowering leaders in these countries – the Sagers think of leaders as people who have the ability to impact many others and multiply this positive effect – offer them amazing life moments full of learning, feeling and accomplishing. This is the main message behind “Be selfish, go help someone”.
