Houston is segregated.
Demographic studies indicate that Houston is increasingly diverse but continues to be geographically segregated by race, income and education. No Borders is working in sections of the city with high populations of immigrants, refugees and African Americans to break down these barriers and catalyze economic development.
We build bridges.
Our vision at No Borders is to cultivate a collective of entrepreneurs within the refugee, immigrant and underserved communities who are creating innovative businesses that provide local employment and financial margins that lead to generational change and boost the local community.
We believe that original ideas and creative energy can be unleashed in these innovators with business coaching, personal financial development and micro-lending. We are committed to seeing whole communities transformed as local businesses are started to provide employment and generational wealth.
