Going Global…Here in Denver

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010

Our unique entrepreneurship training and mentoring has equipped community leaders in Kenya to transform thousands of lives. Knowing the need for this education is global, we decided to add another major city…Denver!

Partnering for the “Greater Good”

“Have you heard of the Greater Good Academy?”

That simple question from one of our supporters led to a friendship, and now a partnership, with Richard Eidlin and GGA. Like The 1010 Project, “The goal of the GGA is to provide civic-minded entrepreneurs with the training and financial support necessary to succeed and scale their ventures. The GGA helps to incubate green businesses, strengthen local communities, create jobs and increase economic self-sufficiency.”

gea-logo-300wAs we launch The Global Entrepreneur Academy in Nairobi this fall, we are collaborating with Greater Good for curriculum, mentors, fund-raising, and business partnerships.

Utilizing the latest video chat technologies, our Academies will also collaborate on solutions to the challenges these emerging leaders face.

Get Involved

We are looking for mentors for the Denver academy (starting September 21st), as well as business partners who want to invest “Glocally” (Globally & Locally)! In return your business will connect to our large and rapidly expanding community of supporters. Reply to this email to find out more.

Teach a Woman to Fish

You will receive dozens of requests from worthy organizations that, in the end, will give a woman a fish and feed her for a day. In these tight economic times make a donation that will impact generations to come. Your investment will teach a woman to fish, feeding her, her family, and even her entire community…for life.
