In December I will be traveling to Rwanda to work with local entrepreneurs. In my travels through many developing nations (including Costa Rica, Cuba, Thailand, former East Germany, D.R., Mexico and more) there is a glaring lack of a middle class, entrepreneurs, and trade routes. When a country is built on a social government system, a large lower class, and a small upper class there is a lack of democracy, taxable income, innovation, education and progress. My hope is that we can help Rwanda, who is rebuilding their government and country after the 1994 genocide, to become a stable and sustainable economy through the creation of a middle-class and eradication of mass poverty. My dream is that we create a succesful model that is replicable around the globe.
The purpose of this blog is to keep you informed about fund raising initiatives, how you can be involved, and IS making a difference. I will also keep you up-to-date with how the trip progresses and introduce you to some of Rwanda's entrepreneurs.
Thank you, Elizabeth Cox
