Business As Mission NW – (BAM NW)
BAM connects, engages, and inspires business leaders who share a common goal of implementing business solutions to help bring people out of poverty globally.
Our focus is primarily on the Global South where the need for economic freedom is most acute.
Elisabeth Cochrane founded this event in 2011. She and her husband have worked in India and Nepal for over 30 years in development and training. The work has grown to over 200 projects with 3000 staff involved in many different areas, including elementary schools, pre-schools, clinics, micro-loan projects, sewing classes, training schools, etc. Their experiences have taught them that building sustainable businesses is much more effective than charitable gifts in elevating people out of poverty.
BAM NW operates under ACE Development Fund, a registered 501c3 non-profit corporation based in the USA. ACE exists to plant businesses in the developing world as a sustainable solution to alleviating poverty while bringing social, economic and spiritual transformation.
