Yves Béhar-Backed Social Good Accelerator Reveals Inaugural Projects
The startups from Uganda, Kenya, and Rwanda address a range of social issues that affect adolescent girls in their local communities.
In February, designer Yves Béhar announced his involvement with Spring, a small business accelerator created by the Nike Foundation, USAID, and the U.K. Department for International Development (DFID). The program launched with a goal of supporting 18 startups a year whose services benefit girls in East Africa. Spring would provide them with financial and technical expertise, as well as design consultation from Béhar's industrial design studio, fuseproject.
