Organisation: Social Enterprise Africa CIC

The challenge and solution: The challenge is to evolve the undoubted capability and talent in African rural villages and dangerous slums into effective charismatic social entrepreneurs that can remove poverty and develop vision amongst every village in his or her locale.
The solution is the Butterfly Project, where children are located in remote villages and slums, they are interviewed to assess their mindset and desire for change, then they are assessed for their skillset to be a social entrepreneur, then recruited onto the project. We then work jointly with them and their village elders, feeding in knowledge and information gradually through the project member and facilitating the development of new high value “demonstration” crops.
