This year, we’ve been overwhelmed by the entrepreneurial spirit of the people we support. Youth across Africa and the Middle East have been finding ways to support their communities through hard times, fill gaps in emerging markets and continue their studies online.
Thank you to our many partners for helping us to support the most vulnerable youth in fragile states, including women and refugees. And most of all, thank you to the thousands of entrepreneurs and students for persevering, adapting and growing throughout 2020.
