The opportunity this movement has generated is the build up of considerable social capital. In an environment where business leaders have not always been viewed in the best of lights, the leadership and hard work plus financial contribution of our members has generated a very positive view. An asset that we believe should not be allowed to whither once the pandemic is under control. We face a number of economic challenges that this movement can pivot towards particularly with regards to kids who have been denied opportunities due to extreme poverty. We believe that by devoting our resources to this problem (in a similar way to the Irane Man Project run by the same core group that has financed and built 100 schools in poor villages in the country’s border regions) we can create opportunities and allow these children to grow into productive members of society and avoid the repeat of problems witnessed in other countries.
