Presentation at the World Affairs Council

On June 11, Tom and I gave a presentation to the World Affairs Council of Houston regarding Indego Africa and how it symbolizes Houston's connection to Africa. It's easy to forget, as we focus intensely on our work, how enthusiastically people receive and grasp the concept of social enterprise. We're always astounded by the turn-out and passion at events such as these. Houston is a commercial capital and, like many of the people we speak with, Houstonians respond to the hybrid business/social development approach that Indego Africa uses. We fielded a lot of questions about when the Rwanda women might start their own businesses and how they (the audience) could get our products into local stores.

Keep your questions and comments on Indego Africa coming. It's how we help ensure that our model is tested and best-in-class, which means we're serving our partners as well as we can.
