From Poverty to Progress in Developing Countries — New Entrepreneurial Models for Social,
Environmental and Financial Sustainability
Creating new models for financial sustainability while benefitting society requires business beyond the norm.
Learn from two organizations whose social entrepreneurialism reaches across borders and continents. Find
out how sourcing products from artisans and farmers in developing countries — while paying wages well
above local rates — profits buyers and sellers alike.
Hear from Theresa Wilson, founder of The Blessing Basket Project®, and learn about her unique financial
model, Prosperity Wage®. Her organization is helping lift thousands of artisans across six developing
countries out of poverty and into sustainable financial independence.
Meet Susan Sheldon, from Madison-based SERRV International, and hear about this organization’s 60 years
of experience promoting fair trade in 36 countries. She also will share the story and some samples of one of
SERRV’s most popular suppliers, Divine Chocolate.
Both will discuss how marrying the social and business side of entrepreneurialism helps solve societal
problems and creates win-win solutions.
