"The Kambia team was phenomenal from start to finish. The students found their interaction with community members and business owners to be impactful and for some, transformational. I have no doubt we'll participate in additional programs in the future." - Cari Borisuk, Lecturer and Director at Coastal Carolina University.

Our international Kambia programs are made possible by inspiring and dedicated faculty members like Professor Borisuk that lead their students abroad to make an impact.

During their one-week trip to Panama, Professor Borisuk and her team of business students worked directly with the community of Rio Venado and Ipeti Guna to provide Financial Empowerment. We are grateful for the impact that their trip had and hope to see Professor Borisuk and her students again soon!

🌟 International Business Consulting through Global Brigades and Kambia Virtual Programs 🌎

Kambia and Global Brigades are proud to have collaborated with the University of St. Thomas on a Virtual Global Business Marketing Program that provides students with the skills to develop marketing strategies for resource-limited businesses in Honduras. Through the program, students confront marketing challenges, apply the 7 Ps of marketing, and create tailored plans to drive business growth.

As international consultants, students engage in client meetings, mentoring sessions with corporate experts, and deliver marketing solutions to Honduran entrepreneurs. On every Virtual Business Program, students gain the ability to analyze economic challenges, assess business strengths and weaknesses, and collaborate effectively with urban and rural clients in developing countries.

💪 Empowering Change Together 💼

Our dedicated staff, bilingual facilitators, and a professional translator ensure a seamless learning experience. If you are a faculty member or student interested in leading a Virtual Business Program to consult entrepreneurs abroad, send us a message for more information.

The University of Southern California just returned from Panama where they collaborated with .juntos.podremos and the communities of Piriatí Emberá and Ipetí Guna to provide consulting services to small businesses and local banks.

Small businesses are the backbone of any economy, and they play an especially important role in developing countries, however, small businesses in Panama often face challenges, such as limited access to capital. ESKALA and Global Brigades work together to bring essential financial services to small-scale business owners.

If you are a business or marketing student, consider partnering with Global Brigades, ESKALA and clients abroad on a one-week international consulting program in Panama. It is a great way to use your skills and knowledge to make a difference in the world. Want to learn more about it?
