This chapter examines the first few years of Sarah Schenirer's enterprise, a story one has access to almost solely through her own writings and the legends that surround Bais Yaakov's origins. Schenirer's revolution not only expanded the educational options for Orthodox girls, it also created a cohort of educated, mobile, committed, and independent Orthodox young women, giving them unprecedented opportunities to combine religious commitment and socio-economic freedom. These seminarians and young faculty at the Kraków seminary were her closest associates, her travelling companions on her many trips around Poland, and the ones who welcomed her on her return from every journey. Ultimately, Schenirer's account of her great programme to save Jewish girls through inspiring lectures, a library, and a youth movement sheds light on some of the ways that Bais Yaakov culture developed. Her descriptions of the beginnings of Bais Yaakov also provide insight into how she viewed the school she founded after her other projects had failed.

In this chapter we aim to discuss the opportunities for FDI and venture philanthropy in higher education for the Middle East and North Africa. The MENA region has gathered interest due to the large population and increasing governmental influence on improving higher education in general in the region, and creating partnerships with organizations to better match higher educational options and employment. The GCC plays a large role in the impetus of foreign institutes wanting to invest in the economically developing MENA region. There are many challenges to overcome, some of which are great enough to discourage FDI; but overlooking the initial challenges, there are a wealth of opportunities awaiting exploration.
