Doing good

19-year- old Kiwi social entrepreneur Bonnie Howland put her uni education on hold to launch Indigo & Iris, a vegan and cruelty free cosmetics company. Her first product, Mascara For Sight, puts some of the profit from each sale towards sight-saving surgery in the Pacific. Last month Howland waswa chosen to represent New Zealand at the 2015 Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Kenya – also attended by US President Barack Obama. Ok, she didn’t actually shake hands with the Great Man himself, but what were you doing at 19?
