“This exchange program was a phenomenal experience. It was full of valuable lessons consisting of best practices for achieving sustainability for small enterprises. Aspects related to establishing hubs in rural areas were the major highlight of the program - the learnings from this have been absolutely instrumental in effectively establishing Innovation Hubs in Layyah and Jamshoro districts of Pakistan. Through these Hubs, the aim is to provide safe environment, mentoring and coaching to aspiring and existing entrepreneurs, particularly youth and women.” - Mohsin, Program Manager TiE

"The exchange program was very useful as we were able to learn from the best practices in Nepal. Not only did we learn but we have also applied those learnings in the context of Pakistan. Where we have started similar programs through Oxfam’s partner organization in two localities. I am honored to be part of a team that is able to implement cross cultural learnings."-Mevish, Female entrepreneur from Lahore
