We are delighted to invite you to join our upcoming event, the East Africa Social Business Forum on Youth Entrepreneurship is to be held this year in Harare, Zimbabwe from April 10-11, 2021. It will be a hybrid event with most sessions taking place virtually and some programs in-person programs in Harare.

This global event is set to introduce the collective efforts of Yunus Organizations – Yunus Centre, Grameen Creative Lab, Yunus Social Business, Yunus Environmental Hub, Friends of Social Business – to build on the work that has been going on under the holistic East Africa Social Business project through Yunus + You - The YY Foundation, and to mobilize young people and young entrepreneurs in the region to connect, interact, come up with entrepreneurial solutions about issues that they care about most. Yunus Sports Hub, Glasgow Caledonian University’s Yunus Centre, Danone Communities, YY Ventures, and MakeSense will also support the Forum.

The theme of the event will be "Creating a World of Three Zeros" that Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus has been advocating ---- Zero Net Carbon Emissions, Zero Wealth Concentration for Ending Poverty and Zero Unemployment but would encompass and include other topics that matter to the young generation of Africa.

Topics discused will include the potential of social business and microfinance in East Africa, youth empowerment in social and environmental causes, the power of sports to solve social problems, social business to combat climate crisis and environmental issues, designing healthcare delivery for East Africa, and many more topics.

The presence and sharing of experience of social business entrepreneurs, practitioners and academicians will inspire the audience and help mobilize young people to stand up to make a difference. The event will take place throughout two days on 10-11 April 2021 from 9.15 am to 5.00 pm Harare time.
