Brown Student Projects win Sparkseed Award!
Congratulations to two Brown projects that were selected by Sparkseed for their Social Innovators Program!

The $150/year tuition fee in Tanzania is an enormous financial hurdle for many, and only about 70% of high school-aged Tanzanian youth attend school. The School Fund seeks to help solve this problem by establishing a website where the Tanzanian students learn to use the internet by posting profiles which supporters around the world can read and use to sponsor a student or a school.
The Capital Good Fund (CGF) provides low-income Providence residents with the capital and skills needed to raise their income levels and improve their quality of life. CGF collaborates with community partners to offer personal finance classes, as well as loans that boost small businesses and help immigrants become legal residents or citizens.
