This Is How We Work

PARTNERSHIP THAT INSPIRE CHANGE

Our work is about inspiring and engaging others to make a change in the community at local level. It’s a collaboration between us, social entrepreneurs-corporates,individuals, and civil society organisations. By partnering with social entrepreneurs and connecting them with those in need we create real and sustainable opportunities. To highlight the equal partnering, we focus on mutual learning and build on each other’s strengths. We look at how to use our knowledge and experience to help both the people we serve and social entrepreneurs grow and have a bigger impact in the community-it’s all about win-win!

Trust

Building strong and long-lasting relationships internally and externally is crucial to maximise our outcome.

Transparency

We are open about both positive and negative experiences, learnings and results and strive to be clear about expectations, division of responsibilities and labour, and how to solve issues that we may encounter on the way, both internally and externally.

MENTIONED ON

We stand for empowering vulnerable youth and young at most risk lactating mothers across Eastlands’ slums and informal settlements to be the best they can be through leadership, talent, communication skills and smarts.
