About us
Our Mission
As a community of leaders, Banj, Little Footprints Big Steps (LFBS), and its partners are standing up today. We call upon our network to stand in support with blood, food, water and materials for the relief efforts, but we also want to support the long-term reconstruction process of the big south by providing locals with the opportunity to get involved.
Our Goals
We strongly believe in the power of leadership and young people to drive change. We do not want to repeat the same mistakes of 2010 – ensuring that this time locals are at the center of the recovery and rebuilding process. We also want to do what we do best: support local entrepreneurs.We want to raise 1 million dollars (tax deductible).
Exibitions
We will use the power of our incubator and LFBS team on the ground in the South to identify and support 25 initiatives coming from areas affected by this earthquake. We pledge to provide these entrepreneurs with expert coaching, as well as $10,000 each to grow their businesses – which will help their own communities recover from this disaster.
