 Social Enter­prise Fund Accomplishments:

  • We have pro­vided over $140,000 in lend­ing cap­i­tal to gen­er­ate over 300 new busi­nesses in the Domini­can Repub­lic, result­ing in 432 micro-credit loans total
  • We have invested over $125,000 to pro­vide micro-equity grants to small busi­ness own­ers and entre­pre­neurs in South Africa, result­ing in over 600 hours in con­sult­ing ser­vice deliv­ery to the Cape Flats area
  • Our stu­dents have raised $75,000 through grass­roots ini­tia­tives to sup­port micro-development projects, from build­ing homes with Niall Mel­lon Town­ship Trust or work­ing on a com­mu­nity gar­den with Nue­stros Pequenos Her­manos 

“Per­son­ally, each day of this pro­gram has pressed me to test my lim­its, to build my busi­ness acu­men and to strengthen my lead­er­ship so that I can be a pow­er­ful agent of social change.”
