Wild Hearts Foundation
Micro-Tyco is a month long challenge that enables participants to practice and learn fundamental business principles. Teams have one month to turn £1 seed capital into as much money as possible. Micro-Tyco inspires an entrepreneurial environment that fosters creative thinking, resourcefulness and team work as well as helping pupils to develop financial literacy, communication, leadership, project management and networking skills. All money raised during the Micro Tyco challenge is given to the Wild Hearts Charity which invests in microloans for poor entrepreneurs in the developing world to start their own business which allows them to work their way out of poverty. The charity also run a Micro Schools Programme where clients are given money and training to set up schools in their local area. Well done to our Business Club pupils who recently took part in this challenge. This year we have donated £300 from our Young Enterprise activities.
