Social Enterprise

The goal of the Project Somos Children’s Village is to reach financial sustainability.

Social Enterprise within the Children’s Village will be established to financially sustain the Project in a real and concrete way.

These small businesses will provide employment for the local labour market and will include them as stakeholders in the Children’s Village.

Ideas for potential businesses at this time include; social tourism, organic agriculture, plant nursery and fresh herbs.

The Project is open and excited to partner with existing local and foreign businesses to establish Social Enterprises.
