The initiative which grew to a team of 20 volunteers has helped over 8000 entrepreneurs worldwide and has been recognised by the united nation as Acceleration Action for SDGs.[3][4][5]
The initiative consist of series of interviews with entrepreneurs from around the world about how the lockdown has impacted their business and the measures they have put in place to help it to keep running.[6][5]
The second part of the initiative which is the academy provides a unique sources of learning materials and access to real case studies which can be used at schools and businesses as case study by incorporating lessons from different countries around the continent.[5] The idea is to also help make available real life resources or information on how small businesses cope with the challenges presented by the pandemic regarding the issue of social distancing, self isolation as there is still no courses or books from entrepreneurs for students to learn from. The idea also is for these stories can help small business and the economy as a whole to recover[7]
