Metlife Foundation 2015 Entrepreneurial Award

We are delighted and proud to announce that JA Mascareignes was awarded the 2015 Entrepreneurial Award of 25,000 US Dollars on 24 July 2015 by MetLife Foundation and JA Worldwide, rewarding the association for its new program, the JAM Socio-Economic Awareness.

This Entrepreneurial Award program is designed to identify, fund and promote replication and adaptation of innovative programs and processes developed by JA Affiliates worldwide.

The Socio Economic Awareness Program aims at making young adults living in “Pockets of Poverty” of the island become aware of what exists in their community, so that they may seize employment opportunities or identify business possibilities, in order to ensure their economic sustainability.
