“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use
​to change the world.” 
– Nelson Mandela


We strive to build capacity of village leaders, NGO's, community organizations and microfinance institutions by making our materials available for a nominal fee. Materials have been developed by professional entrepreneurial educators who also have extensive 'hands-on' business start-up experience and an understanding of the challenges facing African entrepreneurs.
