El proyecto Africa Project (A y B): FInanzas

Description

Matt Mitro, a project finance attorney at an international law firm, and his father, Tom Mitro, founded INDEGO AFRICA (meaning INdependence, DEvelopment and GOvernance) on June 21, 2007. INDEGO started as an Africa-centered non-profit organization incorporated in Texas whose mission was to help Rwandan women through their economic empowerment. Matt chose the non-profit corporate form in order to emphasize the social mission and attract people to the cause, but the fact is that he always intended to run this organization just like a regular business.
