YLA 2019
A brief summary of our 2019 YLA programme

Ibupreneur (YLA 2019 Winning Team)
In 2018, approximately 4.8 million of women were outside the labor force. Ibupreneur aims to ensure unemployed B40 women rise with a purpose by doing what they love whilst earning additional income, such as reviving Malaysian traditional goods. We provide an integrated e-commerce platform that offers on-boarded mothers with necessary skills to succeed in their business and financial planning.
The team has since on-boarded 7 mothers, sold ~200kg of Kek Lapis, generated more than RM15,000 in sales revenue and raised ~RM10,000 of funding to continue the social enterprise beyond YLA.

The YLA 2019 group was greatly inspired by some of the most influential leaders in Malaysia to whom they are grateful for their support.
