Meet Jonathan
“One doesn’t need much money to start a business and become an entrepreneur. Rather, one needs an entrepreneurial mindset. For me, an entrepreneur is a person who sees opportunities in obstacles, and uses them to create an activity that benefits himself and the society.”
Meet Rosine
“The whole idea is really to inspire persons from all walks of life to see the hidden potential in entrepreneurship, and also to realize that it is always possible to begin from somewhere, with or without money.“
Meet Ben
"Attending the seminar was like a revelation to me. If I had to sum up my experience, I would say, "Everyone can be an entrepreneur. You just have to identify your passion and link it with your core values."
Meet Carmen
“The seminar was a transformative experience for me, for I believe in myself way more than before. I had no self-belief or self-confidence at all, especially as a girl..”
Meet Parfait
“Thanks to the brainstorming and business planning workshops we did, I was able to come up with a business idea that connects my passion with my dream"

Of the 25 or so African applicants who made this year’s cut, three are from Rwanda, including a second Bridge2Rwanda scholar.
