We worked with only those who immigrate legally into Mexico that has become a destination country for about 200,000 per year. We continued our work of helping small entrepreneurs to gain economic inclusion in MX. We assisted them in achieving financial inclusion by linking them with micro-finance institutions, banks and credit unions. Many of our participants increased their sales and were able to generate income for their families needs. We assisted the financial institutions to change the ways their present their information to attract immigrants. Some lenders are non-profit and all are lending to provide greater socioeconomic impact(that IDEAS evaluates) 131161 0 133839 IDEAS has preferred to assist women in their businesses so that they can better support their families. Immigrants to MX need to grow their income as quickly as possible. Many of the women microentrepreneurs choose to run food businesses. Other women we assist provide design and printing, health and ophthalmology services, laundries, bakeries, teaching and tutoring after school. Most women start with home-based businesses and move to stores as they grow. Two-thirds of the participants in our courses are women. Important parts of our entrepreneurial education are to learn the MX regulations and to operate more profitably. We work with many non-profit allies that provide therapy, health, and legal services. We document our participants activities and successes. regulations and to operate profitably. At first, some of the women need services from our allies such as therapy, health, and legal services. IDEAS is helping to overcome the bias that excludes women from full development. The women who are entrepreneurs in their original countries typically can grow their businesses quickly. We also assist those who were not businesswomen before. Some who were para-professionals are able to adapt more quickly. 87411 38875 89227 IDEAS assists young people to achieve their economic and financial goals and overcome exclusion that they often face. We developed manuals for entrepreneurial challenges that all our participants face. We find the younger participants often have different perspectives and needs. We have been asked by educational institutions to train and guide them in volunteer programs. We have been working in recent years with families who are receiving remittances that benefit youth and others. We are assisting them to learn how to manage their funds more wisely to make good investments with their income. This helps to be able to increase their families resources by savings and to provide funds to grow their businesses. Many allies have recruited more participants of youth in other parts of the country. In MX, we began developing work with a business incubator that trains youth to create their first businesses. Some of the youth already had begun assisting in challenges that all our participants face. There is substantial shortfall in the household needs of their families so there is a need to make sure that the businesses could bring home income as well as to sustain their businesses. 314213 true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 5 5 false false false false false false false true true true false true true true true true true true true false X X Carter Garber 4043787544 1702 Dancing Fox Rd Decatur GA 30032 X Carter Garber Exec Dir and Board Secretary 35.00 X 0 0 0 Robert Zdenek President 2.00 X 0 0 0 Miguel Mairena VP Latin America 1.50 X 0 0 0 Stephanie Atli Vice President 1.50 X 0 0 0 Adriana Gaffga Treasurer & Asst Secretary 1.25 X 0 0 0 Juan Gomez VP Mexico 1.50 X 0 0 0 0 false false false 343179 343179 0 561499 0 0 0 0 343179 0 0 0 8757 0 8757 0 7340 0 7340 0 6000 6000 0 0 0 0 11258 11258 0 0 1045 1045 0 0 9350 9350 0 0 5500 5500 0 0 14589 14589 0 0 16637 16637 0 0 2734 2734 0 0 TRAINING PARTICIPANTS 172046 172046 0 0 TECH ASST TO PARTICIPANTS 81054 81054 0 0 336310 314213 16097 6000 86341 95768 16322 16322 0 0 182109 18250 0 18250 X 163859 0 163859 0 182109 6869 156990 X true X false true false X 0 0 202309 270432 143709 25868 343179 985497 0 12000 12000 0 202309 270432 155709 25868 343179 997497 0 0 0 997497 997497 1.00000 0.00000 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 16322 16322 0 0 true North America 1 2 Program services to entrepreneurs Education & Training 216311 for Youth and Women 1 2 1 2 216311 216311 false false false false false false Pt I Line 2 The organization continues its operations. true X 266000 266000 false true false Pt VI, Line 18 The organization will make those documents public upon written request to the Board, stating the reason for the request.
