American International School
In 2020/2021, the Social Enterprise Academy ran a mini pilot with the American International School in Egypt, with students from grades 9-12.
The School focused on the SDG Goals and due to COVID, students were not able to go on trips and visit communities and villages, so the Social Enterprise in Schools Program was a perfect fit.
The School ran a virtual "Mini Dragons Den" for all 192 students participating and afterwards, the students started implementing their business plans and began trading.

Goodsens Program by Finco
The newly-launched Good SENS program is an initiative by Financial Industry Collective Outreach (FINCO) to promote financial literacy amongst young students in Malaysia.
Collaborating with SEA Malaysia, Good SENS was designed to merge financial literacy with the learning and setting up of a social enterprise.
More than 200 upper primary pupils from 20 schools across Malaysia had the opportunity to sharpen their financial literacy skills and raise funds to address causes they cared about.

Save Our Sanitary is a social enterprise led by a team of
A-Level students at South Bank Engineering UTC Brixton, aiming to provide female sanitation products to those in need.
The founder of the enterprise, Sheyann, came up with the idea after noticing that some of her peers at a previous school were unable to afford sanitary products and were too embarrassed to ask for help.
Save Our Sanitary believes the topic of period poverty is underrepresented and should not be taboo.
