Entering El Salvador
Bpeace selects El Salvador as our third country.
We look forward to sharing business skills with Salvadoran entrepreneurs.
Bpeace has spent a year of due diligence determining which third conflict-affected country we should enter.
We were in search of a country where people have limited access to business tools and experts, and where we can help prevent the recurrence of violent conflict by improving economic opportunity.
Nearly 20 years after its civil war, El Salvador has one of the highest homicide rates in the world. We believe that our focus on small and medium sized businesses and the sustainable employment they generate can help reduce violence.
We plan to field our first expedition of business volunteers in October 2010. After securing partners and funding, we hope to initiate our search for our first group of Salvadoran Fast Runners in early 2011.
