"Anyone who has been involved in building a non-profit organization in an emerging market knows narrow are the options for funding any project, no matter how good it is. Having lived through this situation myself in Argentina, I was amazed when I learned about NESsT and its work funding projects around the world. I believe that successful non-profit organizations can leverage business ideas to develop sustainable funding platforms and NESsT is the ideal vehicle to help these organizations to achieve that."
