Rotary Shark Pond Service Projects
Entrepreneurs Against Poverty (EntrAPov) connects sponsor-donors to small entrepreneurs in areas where the $US dollar goes a long way toward starting a business that lifts families out of poverty…permanently. We do this through a “pitch show” called Shark Pond. Entrepreneurs are prepared for the show by approved educational partners in Africa. Budding entrepreneurs then compete for startup funds to launch their businesses.
We have the honor of being joined by Founder Ben Davidson. Ben is joining us fresh off the heels of his Prestigious Rotary International Award, where he was recognized for his extraordinary humanitarian efforts by Rotary District 5400 Foundation Chair Ben Nelson at a special ceremony at the Juniper Hills Country Club. The Rotary Foundation Citation for Meritorious Service Award is the highest service recognition given by the Rotary Foundation. This honor celebrates outstanding contributions to humanitarian efforts, with only a select few recipients chosen annually by The Rotary International Foundation.
