Executives Without Borders Usa

Programs: Haiti: plastic recycling. Ramase lajan, meaning "picking up money" in creole, is a nationwide jobs and plastic recycling program developed by executives without borders and various international and local partners. The program created a network of neighborhood community collection centers across the country where haitians turn in recyclables and are paid a fair market price for their hard work. The community centers are operated by haitian entrepreneurs who work with their staff to crush and transport these recyclables to a local business, haiti recycling, who transforms the materials into commodities that are sold on the world market.

brazil: international business corps. In 2011, executives without borders began a partership with the dow chemical company and the us chamber of commerce's business civic leadership center (bclc) to create an initiative for a skills-based volunteer program. This program grew into the international business corps (ibc), a business-led consortium of major multinational companies dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of ngos and entrepreneurs in emerging markets. In brazil, ibc members mobilize volunteer business experts and leverage their core business functions in the delivery of social good. In rio de janeiro, we work with three of the top charitable organizations as pro bono partners: bola pra frente, center for digital inclusion (cdi), and saude crianca in their efforts to improve lives.

honduras: central american medical outreach (camo) has been serving those in need across honduras for nearly 20 years. They operate 16 full-time medical programs, completed over $2. 3 million worth of community projects and were named the most fiscally responsible ngo in honduras. Camo's work focuses on community development and serves nearly 170,000 hondurans each year. Over the last 5 years executives without borders has worked on numerous projects to improve the efficiency and long-term sustainability of camo's work across honduras. Together, through effective marketing and communications development we increased camo income to support life-saving programs, and empowered local staff through business training mentorship.
