EJF today announces that it is sponsoring International Business Kids (http://www.businesskids.biz) of Washington, DC in their efforts to bring entrepreneurship training to those who need it most. EJF will provide our Convince framework to IBK and work with them to ensure that it produces effective results.

IBK, founded by Ms. Endura Govan with her four-year-old son Alexander in 1990 at his instigation,  has been opening up the future for deserving but disadvantaged kids with workshops and trainings since its creation. Alexander Govan died of cancer in 1986, but his entrepreneurial legacy lives on in the results of IBK.

"I view this as the beginning of a long-term partnership because Ms. Govan has a great track record of producing results that change the lives of kids, and her mission is directly in line with my own vision of turning education right-side up once and for all," says EJF founder Don Wilde. "The synergy around this project is perfect."
