Natasha N. Myles (BCom) recently launched a social enterprise she had started during her graduate studies at Columbia University in 2010. LIFT Investments (www.liftinvestments.org) is a non-profit, social investment fund dedicated to alleviating poverty and developing local economies in East Africa. LIFT invests in profitable small- and medium-sized businesses and offers training to fill skill gaps and promote workers to higher-paid jobs. In its first project, LIFT is working with three coffee companies in Rwanda, while also raising funds for its next project in Kenya. Email: natasha.myles@liftinvestments.org
