Thank You! We did it!

We did it!

The Spring 2011 GEA in Nairobi is fully funded!

Thanks to everyone who generously made our year end fundraising a success. A special thanks to Jeff Messer and The Entrepreneur's Source for their matching funds.

We have two exciting updates about our work:

The Fall 2010 Global Entrepreneur Academy in Nairobi was a tremendous success. The 15 graduates who participated work in their communities to educate children in the slums, help people living with HIV/AIDS, empower women with vocational training, and more. Click here to read stories of how The GEA transformed their lives and equipped them to break the cycle of poverty.
Our Director Josephine is already receiving calls saying "When is the next GEA, and can I participate?" We are finalizing dates for our Spring 2010 GEA in Nairobi, and will begin recruitment in the next month.

Thank you for your investments of time, money, and prayers.

Executive Director
