What we do:
Think about the first time someone recognized in you a spark, a talent you hadn't yet seen in yourself. Remember the way your heart exploded when you felt the power of what you could do & be. At Street Business School, we help women living in extreme poverty feel that feeling, & turn their spark into a fire of purpose. Now we're sharing our poverty-eradication, entrepreneurial training with other non-profits around the globe, so that they can deliver that same training to the people that they serve who are ready to lift themselves & their families out of poverty for good. And it all starts with a spark.
