The program itself has provided me with incredible support in relation to the development of my social enterprise, the Collective Empowerment Foundation. It is quite challenging creating an international non-for-profit organisation but Sama Says offered me exceptional mentorship, strategic insights, and practical support that were crucial in overcoming challenges and accelerating our impact. The Sama Says program is truly something the world needs, it serves as a dynamic and nurturing ecosystem where seasoned professionals as well as other start ups can share their knowledge and expertise to empower each other. This initiative fills a critical gap, providing tailored support that helps enterprises build capacity, achieve their goals, and make a meaningful difference in the world."
