President Biden, the legacy of your presidency is at stake, @potus. The $14.3 billion proposed for Israel, combined with the annual $3.8 billion, is morally indefensible amidst indiscriminate attacks on civilians. History will scrutinize this moment. Demand a Ceasefire NOW.
This Thursday, @MinutodeDios will host an event where entrepreneurs in Colombia will share their stories alongside the volunteer mentors from @EnelGroup who have accompanied them over the last three months. This is part of a @YouthBizInt project in 4 countries. #SOSMentoring
I never cease to be in awe of the inspiring work of @YouthBizInt member @EscuelasManqa, working through food to drive sustainability, entrepreneurship, employment, and pride in cultural identity.

During the launch of the project #Puentes for rural youth in Colombia, Bolivia, and Honduras, I shared the context in Latin America, where youth unemployment rates sadly grew to 30% in the pandemic. But I'm smiling bc of the inspiring stories of youth overcoming the challenges.
Excelente sesión hoy con los mentores de @EnelGroup liderado por @guillemaris. Que bueno ver tanto entusiasmo y colaboración entre mentores, compartiendo ideas para resolver retos juntos. Todo por el bien de los jóvenes emprendedores. #SOSMentoring #putamentorinyourlife
In the face of tremendous challenges, the amazing organizations in the YBI Network doubled efforts to help young entrepreneurs survive and thrive in 2020!

2020 was a profoundly challenging year for #YoungEntrepreneurs. Our network’s support was more important than ever - and we’re proud to have helped over 169,000 young people.

Hemos formado a más de 100 mentores en talleres dinámicos llenos de contenido valioso gracias a @YouthBizInt y los talleristas @abejarano3 y @guillemaris. Es inspirador ver a tantas personas dispuestas a donar su tiempo para ayudar a salvar pequeñas empresas.#SOSMentoring
Our #mentoring programme with @EnelGroup volunteers continues, supported by our members @ong_ae, @MinutodeDios, Perspektiva, & @ybspain.
During the “Checklist for business in crisis” session, #entrepreneur Monalisa told her story & received mentor advice on overcoming crises.
I'm honored to be part of this project and very appreciative of the @EnelGroup employees who will volunteer their time as mentors to help young entrepreneurs in Latin America and Spain. @ybspain @MinutodeDios @ong_ae @perspektivaPeru #SOSmentoring #putamentorinyourlife
Mentoring can be the difference between business success and failure – even more so in times of crisis.
We are delighted to partner with @ENELGroup to provide crucial #mentoring support to struggling youth-led businesses in Chile, Colombia, Peru & Spain.

Q3. How does @qwballies empower African #queer womxn in business? Thread 👇🏿
#LGBTHM21 @Energiserbunni
Thanks @KemoMoloko for helping @YouthBizInt bring attention to the importance of supporting queer womxn entrepreneurs. Incredible to know that Kenya alone loses 1.7% of its GDP annually due to LGBT discrimination! Working together, we can change this
Q1. Why #queer womxn in business? From a survey conducted with 500+ queer womxn #entrepreneurs within our network, we discovered that 48% stated LBTQ+ discrimination as a key barrier to starting and running their businesses.

Next week @qwballies will be taking over our Twitter account to share their expertise working with LGBTQIA+ and African womxn #entrepreneurs. We're looking forward to having them share their knowledge & skills with us!
Join us📆: Wed 24, 12pm-1pm (GMT).

Great to hear from Syrian #refugee and #entrepreneur Amr Ajlouni how our member @habitatdernegi helped his business thrive in Turkey. Education programmes on entrepreneurship, help Syrian refugees like him enter the business market #RewirEdX
