The Organization:
Bpeace supports entrepreneurs who create jobs and peace in communities affected by conflict around the world. Fast Runners are chosen for three year associate programs where they partner with and learn from business leaders from around the globe to effectively scale and improve their ventures in Afghanistan, Rwanda and El Salvador. More jobs means less violence.
