Why local social entrepreneurs?
Because they know best how to help the extreme poor in their communities earn sustainable income. Locals who are familiar with the culture and language and who know the needs of the families around them. And they do it in an entrepreneurial way.
Who could have more impact than a local social entrepreneur? Dozens of them!
It’s a simple calculation. This is why we connect established social enterprises in our networks – the Stay Alliances.
These networks are the incubators for income programmes. First they scan the most effective concepts, then they scale them up. The Stay Alliances are the platform for the multiplication of what works best.
The Latek Stay Alliance Uganda has 50 members – all of them locally rooted Social Entrepreneurs. Via its flagship Organic Cereal program Latek currently trains around 1000 farmers per year with a proven impact of 84% income increase on average.
