Students, Step Up Your Social Entrepreneurship Training in Rural Africa with ThinkImpact
Do you have what it takes to live in rural Africa, immerse yourself in a community, assess its strengths and work on a business plan? ThinkImpact inspires innovation to end poverty in rural Africa by taking people like you to live and work with community entrepreneurs. We host a 10-week Innovation Institute in rural Kenya and South Africa, taking America’s brightest university students and young professionals to be immersed in the community and inspire social innovations.

Benefits of the Institute include:
- Guidance from experienced mentors
