With this goal in mind, they developed the Global Links Initiative, created to inspire the development of a new generation of entrepreneurs in developing countries by empowering women through education and entrepreneurship.

In 2016, the i4 Business Magazine’s “Women’s Inspired Leadership Awards” honored her with the Spirit of Mentorship.
