Shared Challenges, Collective Wisdom

Across the WSA community — from Uganda to Uruguay, from rural villages to urban hubs — social entrepreneurs face remarkably similar challenges: balancing purpose and profit, sustaining their ventures with limited resources, and staying mentally healthy in the face of constant pressure.

This space is built on peer-to-peer learning. It’s not top-down advice, but real insights from WSA alumni walking the same path. By sharing knowledge, asking for help, and supporting each other, we build something stronger than individual success: a global community of collaboration and knowledge sharing.

Supported by FFG’s Impact Innovation Program, WSA facilitated numerous peer2peer exchange meetings and asked our winners about their shared challenges and lessons learned.

Have a story or lesson to share? We’d love to hear from you — this community grows through your voice.
