Solution
This project aims toprovide a micro-entrepreneur with the keys she needs to develop her business through a volunteer advisory mission, namely:
- audit of the business, identification of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats;
- study of the competition, study of supply and demand for the business;
- diversification of the business;
- training in accounting, communication and marketing, digitalization.
These training courses take the form of manuals, which the volunteers must follow with each micro-entrepreneur: weekly recommendations, time for exchange, questioning, adjustments, long-term vision, assessment of actions and impact measurement.
This solution is based on the NGO's experience in the field since 2017, and aims to meet the challenges of the beneficiary population.
It is present in France and Latin America such as Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, and Peru.

💛 Thank you to our incredible Difteurs for 2024 💛
Dear Difters,
2024 has been a year rich in challenges, but above all in great successes. Thanks to you, difteurs, who have believed in our projects and supported our volunteers via your donations on Dift, we have been able to continue transforming lives and shining a light on our missions.
Your generosity has enabled women entrepreneurs to reveal themselves, and committed young people to develop their skills while making a positive impact. You are one of the keys to this solidarity adventure.
2025 is already shaping up to be full of new horizons to explore together, particularly with the arrival of Claire Gressier, our new Managing Director, who will take Impulso's ambitions even higher.
Thank you for your commitment. Let's continue together to transform lives. 🙌
With all our gratitude,
The Impulso team 💛
Thank you for bringing our projects to life!
Dear difteurs,
Thanks to you, we have reached a key milestone in 2024: setting up collective training to train women on certain topics. This month, we surpassed 100 training sessions in our 7 fields of action!
This also involved recruiting local coordinators, and we're delighted to introduce Jacinto and Tamia, on the ground in Peru and Ecuador, recruited on permanent contracts this summer!
Their arrival has been a game-changer for us, giving us:
- Strengthened relationships with our local partners, for solid and lasting collaborations,
- A better understanding of the issues on the ground, to meet the real needs of beneficiaries,
- Optimized support for volunteers, so they can have an even stronger impact.
These advances are the fruit of your support. And this is just the beginning! In 2025-2026, we want to extend our actions to Guatemala and Mexico, in collaboration with new local players.
Thank you for making it all possible, through your generosity and commitment. Together, we're building a more united future.
The Impulso team 💛
