Bridges Center is the local partner for Legacy International, in charge of identifying and recruiting suitable candidates for the program. Given Tanmia’s wide reach in the field of economic empowerment and social entrepreneurship, I felt that it would be a good path towards getting the information about the program to the right people. I would greatly appreciate it if you could share this information on your website and / or your social media.
