Social Enterprise

Social enterprise and entrepreneurial skills are important in developing countries as they drive economic growth, empower individuals with essential skills, and support sustainable development goals by creating opportunities and fostering innovation for learners.

In our Social Enterprise impact area, you’ll design and lead activities to encourage entrepreneurial skills such as financial awareness, as well as focussing on developing critical thinking, and problem-solving skills. You’ll engage children in activities that build their confidence and equip them with the tools needed for academic and professional success.

If you’re passionate about empowering the next generation and making a tangible difference in their lives, join us to empower learners and make an impact!
