What is it that we try to achieve? Our mission is to improve the performance of individuals, organisations and businesses that deliver social change. Who are we? We are a group of professionals who use business principles to promote social change in order to combat poverty, resist exclusion and counter violation of human rights. We are a social business. This means that we generate our own income while we pursue our mission. We earn our own income from assignments, but for us social impact is more important than earning a profit. We position ourselves in between (the practice of) social entrepreneurship, development work, public policy and academic communities. We aim to combine the best of these three worlds. Both as individual professionals and as a company we are well connected to social entrepreneurs, local businesses, development organisations, policy makers and academics in Africa (mainly East and South Africa), Asia (mainly South Asia and indo-China) and Europe (the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the UK).
