IT’S OUR 5TH ANNIVERSARY AT ENABLIS AND WE COULDN’T BE MORE pROUD. OVER THE pAST 5 YEARS, WE’VE GONE FROM 0 TO 500 MEMBERS, STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS AND FROM SUC- CESS TO SUCCESS. IT BE GAN IN 2003 WHEN WE MADE THE LEAp FROM A UNIQUE VISION TO AN EVEN MORE UNIQUE MODEL. BY ESTABLISHING A GLOBAL NETWORK OF ENTRE- pRENEURS IN DEVELOpING pARTS OF THE WORLD, WE SET OUT TO ENABLE BOTH INDI- VIDUALS AND COUNTRIES TO TRANSITION FROM RELI ANCE TO SELF-SUFFICIENCY pRO- VIDING ENTREpRENEURS WITH EVERYTHING THEY NEED TO SUCCEED — FROM THE ENABLIS

CIRCLE TO NETWORKING pRO- GRAMS TO A CUSTOMISED INTRANET TO INNOVATIVE FINANCING SOLUTIONS — IS HOW WE GOT FROM THERE TO HERE. THE RESULT? WE’VE EMpOWERED OUR MEMBERS TO GO FROM ONE END OF T H E S p EC T R U M TO T H E OTHER — FROM DREA MING TO ACHIEVING, FROM LEARN- I N G TO E A R N I N G . W E ’ V E GROWN, DEVELOpED AND EXpANDED FROM COMMU-NITY TO COMMUNITY, FROM COUNTRY TO COUNTRY AND FROM CONTINENT TO CON- TINENT. AND AS WE MOVE FORWARD, WE CONTINUE TO GROW, ALWAYS GOING FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH.
