After visiting Tanzania on a school trip, International Business Administration (IBA) student Thom Uildriks (19) and his partner Spijk Geene wanted to take action and venture into social entrepreneurship. True to their word, they decided to create Boxrs4ALL and tackle a prominent issue they had encountered during their trip: underwear insecurity.<\/p>\n

The core of their business model is that for each pair of boxers they sell, their venture promises to donate underwear to Tanzanian children in need. Both have been diligently working on this project while keeping up with their studies on the side. As Thom describes it, \u201cIBA is fun, but just like in other studies, you probably have quite a lot of time to do other stuff on the side.\u201d Both partners have dedicated three years to the project and believe there is still more work to be done.<\/p>\n
