💲 💲 GOOD NEWS FOR LMIC ENTREPRENEURS STARTING OUT. 💲 💲 Our friend Sufyan Yakubu has shared details below of the D-Prize scheme so please take a look if you have an innovative solution to some aspects of poverty. "The D-Prize is for new organizations. Most of our awardees are first-time entrepreneurs. Most have not yet launched their organization, nor have they raised other funding. We especially encourage those from low-and-middle income countries to apply. We will consider applications from existing organizations only if your core focus is distributing an existing and evidence-based poverty intervention. We typically will not support organizations with more than 18 months of full time operations or that have raised more than $30,000 USD in outside funding."

As we celebrate Aidilfitri and reflect on the spirit of unity and compassion, I'm reminded of a profound observation: the potential of entrepreneurship to uplift communities and break the cycle of poverty. During Ramadhan, I've witnessed firsthand the resilience and resourcefulness of individuals striving to make ends meet, despite facing significant economic challenges. It's clear that entrepreneurship offers a pathway to empowerment and self-sufficiency, irrespective of one's background or circumstances. However, many aspiring entrepreneurs from underprivileged communities lack the necessary support and resources to turn their dreams into reality. They often face hurdles such as limited access to guidance, exposure to current business trends, and essential networks for growth. That's why at Taylor's Community, our programs are dedicated to bridging this gap by providing structured guidance, exposure to industry trends, and networking opportunities to aspiring entrepreneurs from underprivileged backgrounds. By transitioning our focus from charity to sustainability, we aim to create lasting impact by empowering individuals to break the cycle of poverty through entrepreneurship. But to truly make a difference, we need your support! If you share my belief in the transformative power of entrepreneurship and want to contribute to positive change, I invite you to join us on this journey. 🌟 How You Can Get Involved: Partner with us to provide resources, mentorship, or expertise, and help shape the next generation of entrepreneurs. Explore sponsorship opportunities to support our initiatives and gain exposure to a diverse network of innovators and thought leaders. Share this post with your network to help us connect with potential partners who share our vision for a sustainable future. Together, let's honor the spirit of unity and compassion by empowering individuals to turn their ideas into reality and build thriving, resilient communities!
