Working with Neiman Marcus will allow the nonprofit to increase its capacity in providing relief and jobs to women in Dallas who have “a history of incarceration, abusive relationships, sex trafficking or poverty” (Fancher & Repko 2016). The Akola Project’s social enterprise nature is that of a hybrid nonprofit because it is able to balance market and mission (Worth, 2013). This union of empowerment opportunity and product investment truly demonstrates Akola’s “balancing commitment to [their] mission with responsiveness to the market” (Worth, 2013 p. 35).

Each summer during the weeks of our CCD program, a drive was held and students were asked to bring in school supplies which would be sent to the group of students in the island country whose school tuition we raised money to pay for through through bake sales. This was always an event that I looked forward to as it brought me great joy to see the way in which our parish was changing the lives of these students. Due to this, I would always offer to go with my mother to organize the received materials and pack individual backpacks for the children, which only further strengthened my desire to make a change in Haiti. My interest specifically in the Be Like Brit organization began when Mrs. Gengel, Brit’s mom, came to speak at my church about the mission of the orphanage created in Brit’s memory as well as the goal of rebuilding Haiti after the 2010 earthquake. After hearing her speak, I immediately looked further into the organization, followed their Facebook page and inquired about volunteer opportunities.
