Scholarships for 20 sustainability young leaders

Dear Family/Donors,

We hope this finds you well!

We have exciting news!!

In the last report we shared with you wishes, expectations and achievements of our new Master and MBA grantees.

 Today, we will focus on our MBA grantee Fernanda , that develops her work in the Navigating Entrepreneurial Education in the Amazon, a project that also received an emergency grant from GlobalGiving.

On April 4, 2023, IPÊ was awarded by WTM Latin America, in São Paulo-SP, with the SILVER WINNER Award

 in the Best Significant Connections category,

with the Project Navigating Entrepreneurial Education in the Amazon, which takes place on the Lower Rio Negro Site. 

This award has confirmed the success of the project that involved amazon community entrepreneurs from the sustainable development reserve Puranga Conquista and carried out several training courses in business management and marketing, as well as mentoring by volunteer specialists to help community members to write projects to raise funds to their business. The projects that stood out received a seed investment to develop the enterprises.

We are so proud of Fernanda and the whole team!! See what she tells about the prize: “This project was a great learning experience for everyone, as a new methodology was developed, where everyone involved learned during the process and, fortunately, it worked to the point that we won a prize for the work. We were very happy and excited to go down this path. The project was renewed, and we will carry out the second year of activities with entrepreneurs supported by the seed investment, accompanying their businesses, monitoring, and recording production, sales, and investments information, so we can formalize themso we can formalize them”.

Fernanda is also defining her MBA completion work and see what she thinks: “My work will focus on the analysis of one of the impact businesses supported by the project. In this way, I will be able to help even more, diving deeply into the results and helping the community entrepreneur to continue his journey”.

 An achievement of one of our grantees, is an achievement of all of us! Thank you, Fernanda, for making a difference in you region. Thank you, supporters, for making a difference outside your regions!
