Eleven participants enter the first round of the MemeHaiti business plan competition!
From the end of November until Dec. 15, 2011 we partnered with Fondation Espoir (Hope Foundation) in Haiti to train 55 young Haitians how to write business plans.
Part of the graduation requirements was for them to enter an on-line business plan competition sponsored by the Clinton/Bush Haiti fund called “MEMAHaiti”. We are pleased to announce that 11 out of the 55 we trained were chosen to participate in the first round of the competition which is additional training in how to start a business.
This training, sponsored by MEMAHaiti, is free for those who take it, and prepares the participants to improve their business plan and present it for the second step of the competition which chooses the finalists.
We congratulate the teachers, participants and Foundation Espoir for these excellent results – 20% of those who entered from our group were chosen.
The results of the second round have now been published and at least one of our group has made it! He wants to start a Fresh-squeezed fruit juice and fast-food business. Please pray that he will be one of the winners.
