Students for Social Entrepreneurship, a program in the Ballard Center for Economic Self-Reliance, has joined forces with Vittana — a company that sets up loans for students in developing countries who need a hand up in furthering education. Since the company was established five years ago, 8,000 students in 12 developing countries have been helped. BYU students are working with Vittana to fight global poverty with education.
