After traveling to over 100 countries, Steven recognized that people in developing regions often have the ambition but lack access to the right resources and operational know-how. Today, he initiated more than 15 locally run work-for-education nonprofits including farms, tour companies, and schools—that empower communities like Arusha to reinvest profits directly into their local economies.
Launching a micro-finance nonprofit typically requires $10,000 to $20,000 in startup capital and can generate $100,000 to $250,000 in annual revenue in 5 years, with minimal direct involvement once operations are in place.

He’s eager to share his knowledge to help more local organizations drive sustainable growth within their communities.
