Supporting Entrepreneurs

We’ve created an online community of aspiring entrepreneurs. We provided complete courses, talks and training resources to learn and improve entrepreneurial skills and access to sources to develop a business idea successfully.

About Emprendo Hoy

Problem - In many instances, in Peru, self-employment is the only route into the labor market for people with disabilities. Every day we speak with service recipients like Gloria, a wheelchair user who can't find employment. People with disabilities may face workplace discrimination, have accessibility issues, or be undereducated. Solution - We have created an online community for aspiring entrepreneurs like Gloria who live with a disability and provide support such as free courses and resources, mentoring, funding access, and more.
