Inspired by Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus, I aim to bring self-reliance and micro-finance models to Leeds to enhance the wellbeing of under-served people. My goal is to franchise these models across the UK, helping financially excluded individuals overcome poverty through enterprise.
Changemakers will enable me to build confidence, plan for success (and deliver it!) and to learn and share with awesome social entrepreneurs, professionals and consultants.
