 Every year, instead of sending holiday greetings out to all clients, customers, and our network via mail and email, Kisserup donates funds to a non-for-profit organization within one of the global communities where we are engaged on projects.
In 2021, our team had the opportunity to work in Bangladesh on the Canadian Trade and Investment Facility for Development technical assistance supporting the women-owned enterprise, Leatherina in accessing the North American market by-way of e-commerce. Through a recommendation from Leatherina, our team has chosen to make our annual holiday donation in support of WREETU, a women-led social enterprise working towards building a gender-equal society through ensuring dignified health and well-being for girls and women in Bangladesh. WREETU is an action-oriented organization making a real impact in their community, reaching over 15,000 people since 2016, through improving the standard of living by creating access to healthcare products for girls and women. Their ground-breaking work includes the involvement of both boys and men in their discourse, helping to support the narrative around women’s access to health and reproductive products, enabling girls and women’s continued wellbeing, and involvement in their communities. Interested in learning more about WEETU and their impact? Reach out today here!  The Community of Practice (CoP) for Caribbean Immigrant Entrepreneurs received funding through the Supporting Black Canadian Communities Initiative (SBCCI) to deliver a study that supports the strengthening of the diaspora community (with Caribbean and African roots). The study is intended to create know-how, drive demand, and utilize trade policy information and results for making individual as well as community business decisions.
A request for quotation was published to procure subject matter expertise and Kisserup International Trade Roots Inc. emerged as the successful consultant for conducting the study. The study addresses existing Canadian trade policies and describes how they hinder or support trade as well as business opportunities that may be missed by diaspora entrepreneurs (with Caribbean and African roots). The full article can be found here.  Ten women-owned SMEs from Nova Scotia are participating in a multi-sector virtual trade mission to Boston organized and coordinated by Nova Scotia Business Inc. and the Centre for Women in Business. Please visit the portal of the mission here to know this high-growth woman-owned and woman-led businesses or download their capabilities statements.
