Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship

Advancing Sustainable Livelihoods in the Democratic Republic of Congo

For nearly 30 years, Miller Center for Global Impact has advanced social entrepreneurship to end poverty and protect the planet. It focuses on climate resilience and women’s economic power and accelerates social enterprises aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

In the US, women start almost 849 businesses each day, and the number of women-owned businesses has grown 114% in 20 years. The Independent reports that women lead 38% of social enterprises, and the social entrepreneurship model continues to attract more women.

Eight impact-first investors collaborated to address the “Valley of Death” and improve support for scaling social enterprises.
