Mexoxo

Mexoxo is a non-profit organization that supports women to achieve their full potential. Believing that education is the tool for growth and change, Mexoxo encourages, enables, and facilitates women’s active involvement in business, employment, learning, and community. The Mexoxo journey started in 2013 in Tijuana Mexico, when Elpida Kokkota, Founder & CEO, made the brave decision to do what she loved and leave behind the Bostonian lifestyle. The action was fired up by Professor Nobel Laureate M. Yunus, who mentored her vision to help women to achieve socio-economic growth. Two women in Mexico became Mexoxo's first beneficiaries. Commencing Mexoxo's impact they open the road to 500 more women to become entrepreneurs. Two years later, Elpida officially pledged a commitment to the Clinton Global Initiative to empower and educate women by 2020. The mission was fulfilled in 16 countries at the end of 2019. Mexoxo was nominated by the National Greek Delegation to represent Greece, for the first time in its history, for the "UNESCO Prize for Women's and Girls Education 2020". During its 10 years of operation Mexoxo has achieved to support 142,868+ women directly and 571,472+ women indirectly. Mexoxo's mission is to democratize education for women globally.
