TESTIMONIALS

“I found it impossible to resist the excitement in the eyes of the poor entrepreneurial women I met in India. By making an extensive donation to Hand in Hand, my brother Jonas and I hope to inspire other individuals and foundations to do the same.”

Robert af Jochnick, founder of Oriflame and af Jochnick Foundation

“The Hand in Hand model shows that a small injection of capital in an enterprise, no matter the size, can be the very essence in the creation of a small enterprise. It is rewarding to us as a bank to be able to give that injection to women in their effort to lift their businesses.”

Annika Falkengren, CEO of Scandinavian Enskilda Bank (SEB)

“Being an entrepreneur myself, I find Hand in Hand’s focus in job creation and entrepreneurship very attractive. I also have a stronger belief in smaller grassroots activities rather than to the same from the top down.”

Leif Johansson, CEO of Volvo

“It’s a fantastic project aimed at helping women become proud businesswomen instead of passively accepting aid.”

Ingrid Schullström, board member of the H&M Anniversary Foundation and CSR Manager at H&M
