Patricia Barrios Verand

I am passionate about Peru and social entrepreneurship. I decided to become a lawyer to better understand and change the law, order and policy systems in Peru. During my second year of college, I created a volunteering organization that recruits, trains and mobilizes young people to provide complementary healthcare services to vulnerable patients. As the scale of operations grew, I focused on finding ways to become a self sustained social venture. And so in the ensuing years, we managed to create two additional social ventures: one in the healthcare sector and the other in the higher education sector.
