What is the problem your idea aims to address?
- Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime - We are concerned with long-term self-suffiency, and there are not enough accessible opportunities for immigrants. - Small businesses and entrepreneurs need more support, - Starting a business is too hard
