Impact is more than attendance.
We measure whether learning changes what people understand, what they believe they can do, and what they ultimately do differently.

Entrepreneurship For Impact
In Collaboration With Singapore Management University
For moms from low-income families, growing their income often feels like an uphill battle. With children and the home to take care of, it is difficult to commit to regular working hours. As such, many of them work to establish home-based businesses (HBBs).
While this may seem like a perfect solution, the recent influx of HBBs has made it difficult for aspiring entrepreneurs to stand out and get their business off the ground. Many of these moms struggle to launch their businesses, grappling with low customer numbers among other challenges.

Our Approach
In 2026, Bamboo Builders partnered with Singapore Management University's Centre for Social Responsibility (SMU C4SR) to connect student leaders with 15 single mothers from Rise & Thrive (R&T), a charity supporting underserved families toward financial stability and personal growth.
Before stepping in, students were equipped through our flagship leadership training, covering frameworks such as Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) and Design Thinking, alongside Google-certified e-learning in Digital Marketing, E-Commerce, and Generative AI.
Over a 6-month period, students co-collaborated with the mothers on business growth plans, established clear SMART outcomes across five key business metrics, and supported them with pricing, catalogues, social media presence, and sales activation, culminating in a final showcase at SMU's flagship Patron's Day.
Bamboo Builders is proud to have facilitated this exchange: students gained a rare opportunity to put their skills into practice, while the mothers received sustained, hands-on support in growing their home-based businesses.
