Rising From The Ashes: The Rwandan Model

Speaker(s): Josh Ruxin, Founder and Director of Rwanda Works and The Access Project and Millennium Village Rwanda; Assistant Clinical Professor of Public Health at the Mailman School of Public Health at Columbia University

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009 - 7:30PM at the Green Screen Room @ West Post Digital, Santa Monica

Fifteen years after the genocide, Rwanda has embraced economic development and is quickly becoming a modern state. Under a presidential-led initiative, the country is building up a global network of powerful friends at U.S. companies such as Google, Starbucks, and Costco. In the middle of all of this, Josh Ruxin's Rwanda Works, is working outside Kigali with an innovative model to advance entrepreneurship and the private sector. Join us for this exciting discussion with the founder of Rwanda Works and download the article featuring him in this month's issue of Fast Company magazine.
