Not everyone can be Gandhi, but each of us has the power to make sure our own lives count -
and it's those millions of lives that will ultimately
build a better world.
Jeffrey Skoll, founder of E-Bay, Participant Media and Skoll Foundation for social entrepreneurship
Our Passion
Developing innovative, win-win, social concepts between profit and not-for-profit and empowering social entrepreneurship world-wide is what we love doing the most. The global issues go beyond borders and cannot be tackled in isolation therefore we work with both governments, private sector and development organisations. But most importantly we need the drive, enthusiasm, creativity, opportunism, dreams and compassion of social entrepreneurs to make the dreams come true. We believe it takes one person to make a difference in society. Imagine the power of 10 or 100 global entrepreneurs. Therefore we develop, manage, advice, invest in, link with and empower social entrepreneurial initiatives where we can.
Our experience
With our social venture the Rainbow Collection we have made a difference for 400 women in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa: over 100.000 orange bracelets have been sold. We started the idea for African fair trade orange bracelets for the world cup 2010 in 2008. The idea has grown beyond our estimations and we became the fair trade hit of the world cup 2010! And this is just the beginning as we are ambitious to continue and conquer the world. Look at our best practices to see our achievements with these ?standard? approaches.
