As Ashoka celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Ashoka Support Network (ASN), we aim to mark this #milestone by expanding our #network of #supporters. ASN is a #globalcommunity of successful #businessleaders who share the belief that #entrepreneurs are the primary engine for #economic and #socialdevelopment. We engage with Ashoka, committing #time and #resources to support the work of #socialentrepreneurs. With the launch of a #global campaign over the next six months to double our network of 300 ASNs across 25 countries worldwide, we now have the ability to double any new #contributions made to Ashoka from the #globalsouth--this means that our #impact is now doubled! So come join our #campaign to support more social entrepreneurs like these 13 here in #africa: https://lnkd.in/eCptaYiS cc: Stephanie Schmidt
