Partners, not recipients
Ghana finances and operates. We develop and steer. People act, they do not receive.
Social Entrepreneurship Foundation
Impact needs entrepreneurial structure.
The Social Entrepreneurship Foundation supports entrepreneurial solutions to social challenges in Ghana and West Africa. Its projects are impact-oriented and deliberately not aimed at maximising profit.
Together with partners on the ground we develop projects that carry themselves and show impact that can be evidenced. Concrete rather than vague, among equals rather than from above.
Approach
We develop projects that partners on the ground carry and operate.
Impact-oriented
Not aimed at maximising profit, but at impact that can be evidenced.
Concrete, not vague
Container, district, location, date. No promises without evidence.
