This past Saturday we hosted our third #GirlsInBusiness boot camp at @philippivillage ! Our third cohort started on Saturday, and we had 92 high school girls, 18 learning facilitators and partners who helped us navigate a fun, engaging day full of fun and learning!

By having women learning facilitators in programs like #GirlsInBusiness girls are exposed to successful female role models who can inspire and guide them, breaking down societal barriers and encouraging gender equality in entrepreneurship.
