To create a network of enterprises for the poor introduced to the formal business sector and managed by a shared service.
The high unemployment rate (15.8%) in Cali, Colombia drastically affects poor Afro-Colombian women living in the Aguablanca (Cali’s poorest and most excluded area). These women, the beneficiaries of our project, are unemployed, earn less than US$1 a day from informal tasks, and are discriminated against for their black ethnicity. We aim to create small associated enterprises that generate income and receive training and business knowledge from the formal business sector.
To create a network of Solidary Popular Enterprises & to introduce them to the formal business sector as strategic partners, and to provide SPEs with administrative, financial & technological aid through a Shared Services Unit.
To democratize business knowledge through a Bank of Talent Donors, which transfers knowledge from the formal business sector to SPEs. To create a Systemic Model of solutions to unemployment/poverty problems.
