As a leader in entrepreneurship training, we equip people living in poverty with the knowledge they need to build sustainable businesses, and the confidence to succeed. SBS puts the expertise of local Non-governmental organization (NGO) partners at the forefront, allowing for localization of our proven model creating transformational results. Since 2016, SBS has trained over 180 partners in 31 countries. By 2030 SBS will have trained NGO partners who will collectively support over 6 million people to triple their incomes and rise out of poverty.
