2014: Starting business in Kenya
During this year’s INTA conference in Hong Kong we hosted a reception for clients and partner organizations at the restaurant The Pawn. Our aim with the reception this year was to fight poverty by stimulating entrepreneurship. And more precisely to educate and assist women of Kenya to start their own businesses and become self-supporting. Therefore, for every attending guest we would donate funds that would be used to create sustainable businesses among poor rural people in Kenya. The money has been handed over to our partner organization Hand In Hand to get the project started. Hand In Hand has a model for business creation that includes group creation, education, funding and scale up activities. You can read more about the model on Hand In Hand’s website. Due to a great number of attendees at our reception we were able to start 50 new businesses!
