French & Kenya Red Cross open to social entrepreneurship
Croix Rouge du Kenya
Paris, February 2019 – One year after the launch of
21, the Social Innovation Accelerator of the French Red Cross, a great number of innovation managers and directors of the International Movement of the Red Cross and Crescent visited Change Now.
Inspired by the French Red Cross and its ambition to open the association to social entrepreneurship, the Kenyan Red Cross met under the glass vault of the Grand Palais, the global ecosystem of Change Now: inspiring startups, investors and innovators.
Since then, the French and Kenyan Red Cross worked hand in hand to launch the Women Social Entrepreneurship Institute powered by 21 and financed by the Embassy of France to Kenya. The just launched innovation Hub I.O.Me001 will host the institute and support the empowerment of Kenyan Women in Mombasa via social entrepreneurship.
