rwanda bdc.

The purpose of our trip here is to become licensed in Rwanda’s Business Development Center and launch our own in May.  The BDC is a terrific 14-week course that trains entrepreneurs and small and medium-size business owners how to create and grow their business with ethical principles and a broader purpose than the bottom financial line.

We hope the BDC will stimulate strong businesses in South Asia that employ and empower many.  We’re also excited to have a mentoring role in the lives of many potential business owners.  Below are some pics of the course and our facilitator training.
