Impact Statement
Bpeace believes that creating jobs, creates peace.
Bpeace is a non-profit network of business people who volunteer their time and skills to assist brave entrepreneurs in countries with a history of violence and poverty: Afghanistan, Rwanda and El Salvador.
We have a bias for women entrepreneurs because their economic advancement is critical to creating and
maintaining peace.
From Afghan women furniture makers and beauty salon owners, to Rwanda women ice cream shop entrepreneurs, to Salvadoran baby clothes manufacturers, Bpeace volunteers help businesses expand and create much needed jobs for their communities.
The result is that an Afghan family may not have to sell their daughter into an early marriage. Or a Salvadoran family can prevent their son from joining a gang.
The multiplier effect says it all. The entrepreneurs that Bpeace assists have created nearly 2,000 jobs supporting nearly 13,000 Afghans, Rwandans and Salvadorans.
Jobs are the bridge to everything--more education, better nutrition and maternal health, less domestic violence, less poverty and more hope.
Bpeace's principal donors are individuals, as well as major corporations like Citibank and Microsoft. The U.S. Department of State has been a steady supporter, partially funding Bpeace's work in Afghanistan since 2004. Bpeace was launched in 2002 with the help of UN Women.

Chief Executive
Ms Toni Maloney
Term:
Since
Oct
2004
Chief Executive Profile:
When she helped found Bpeace in 2002, the idea that Toni helped
root is that business people have a role to play in peace building.
As the leader of Bpeace since 2004, Toni created a vision of Fast
Runner entrepreneurs in conflict-affected countries propelled by expertise
shared generously by U.S. business professionals. In 2005 she
downshifted her strategic marketing consulting business--The Maloney
Group--to lead Bpeace full-time. Executives among her colleagues and
clients followed her into this pioneering initiative as both Bpeace
members and donors.
In the for-profit world, Toni was best known as a marketing
strategist with a proven track record of helping B2B clients
successfully reposition themselves, launch new products and increase
their new business batting average. As president of The Maloney
Group, Toni delivered strategic marketing advice to executives from
leading service companies including Booz Allen Hamilton, Bank of
America and PricewaterhouseCoopers.
Toni has held executive positions at
several leading global firms including American Express, Ogivly and
McCann-Erickson.
She is a graduate of the NYU Stern School of Business. Toni has been quoted in publications including The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and on CNN. She has been a guest speaker at the NYU Stern School of Business, The New School, and Penn State.
In 2010, she was an invited participant to the Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship in Washington, DC. In 2009, she won the Andrew Goodman Foundation Hidden Heroes Award.
