Description: This is a start up company, I want it to be a social enterprise. The idea is to create aorganisation that Will be a one stop shop for the society and them knowing that about 40-60% of their spending will go to Our social devlopment side. I have a degree in psycholoy and criminology and busy with my HIV/AIDS Honors so my specialty will be on the social development side. I wanted to first open an NGO but then I realised That aquiring funds is the most difficult thing you can ever try to find so then I decided that a social enterprise Would work better. I want to have an organisation that will offer services to the public and the people will know That they are working towords helping with the social economic issues that we are facing. The basic idea is to Work with the youth especially hiv and teen pregnancy and also work with orphans the child headed families. The amount of strian and suffering that these kids go through is heartbreaking. So what I want to do is that we will Have people representing these children to us and they will tell us their different needs from school fees to groceries. There are many inexpensive schools in south africa so its not really expensive. I want our organisation to act like the Parents of these kids and provide for them. The second part is extra lessons which will also be of service to the well to Do learners at a price. There are subjects here in south africa which is public knowledge are difficult to us and we fail In them even the education department has called for help in them so we will offer classes and tutoring not in a Competitive price our prices will be way less the normal just to make sure that people come to us cause our cost of Living is also very high but people want education so badly that they are willing to pay that also shows our desparation. We also going to have computer school costing less then usuall. Then we will also open something they don't have h Here is south africa a company strictly created to register students in universities and try find placement for them instead Of them doing all that on their own its amazing how many people where willing to pay for the service if there was such Organisations. I want to also open like different beauty treatment, events section and the beauty of this is that all these Service will be for the social service side. People want to give and help with social issues but the difficulty because they are Normally asked for large amounts of money so now we give them the opportunity to do their daily retounes and not pay any Extra for it they will pay what they have budgeted for in a normal month but they will use it in an organisation which Not only gives back but the whole design is to provide for the poor... There is also going to be a counselling side by Social workers and counsellors... The amount of substance abuse and woman and chils abuse in our communities is Unbeliveable... And its heart breaking and it would have been much much better if all south africans would stand together To work against this... By investing with us is not only investing in our business but with the orphans of south africam you Give them hope for the future and also guidence because they will have proper guidence.. Instead of these kids going to Homes provided by the state with minimal interation, decipline etc.. I trully hope I will here from you and help me build Community, then province, and hopeful be one day national..
