The work of BYU student interns and the Ballard Center’s Peery Fellow Jeremi Brewer is featured in the recent Stowaway magazine article, “The Academy for Creating Enterprise: Creating Enterprise and Creating Hope.” The article investigates Brewer’s Microenterprise Education Initiative, a research initiative seeking to build self-reliance around the world. Since 2008 BYU interns working for the Academy for Creating Enterprise, one of MEI’s partners, have helped lift 6,000 individuals out of poverty in Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, Peru, Zimbabwe and other countries.
The article appeared in the winter 2014 issue of Stowaway, an international travel magazine published by BYU editing students.
