Bpeace (Business Council for Peace)

Bpeace (Business Council for Peace) is a platform that connects entrepreneurs and small businesses in crisis-affected regions with international industry and business volunteers to provide expert growth advice. With almost 20 years of measurable results, their goal is to preserve and create significant employment, particularly for women, believing that more jobs mean less violence®. The identified businesses, known as Fast Runners, are advised by volunteer industry experts, termed Skillanthropists, and consistently outperform their local economies. According to Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times, "Bpeace is one impressive force for change." Founded in 2002, this organization is making a meaningful impact in conflict-affected areas and creating economic stability through job creation.
