Ubuntu at Work Trust

Ubuntu at Work is a global social networking community that connects women micro entrepreneurs with volunteer coaches/collaborators around the world who offer them encouragement and support to develop sound business ideas, produce products for the global marketplace, market their products, funding assistance, and networking resources to pursue their entrepreneurial aspirations.Our initiatives in Karnataka have connected women micro entrepreneurs to designers from within India, Europe, and the US. The designers have designed edgy green/eco-friendly products that the women can make in their homes. This allows the women to escape poverty while not disrupting their family life. The eco-friendly products made by the women micro entrepreneurs are sold around the world via our network of volunteers. We use social networking tools to coordinate our initiatives, recruit and motivate our global volunteers, and raise funding.
