| The Nexus Model |
| We recognise that many solutions while being theoretically sound do not necessary translate well in all situations. As such our programs are driven by the needs communities, and are motivated by individuals from said communities, and social entrepreneurs prepared to take ownership of said problems. We seek not to impose our theoretical solutions but engage communities in fruitful discussions about how situations can be improved. We seek to identify social entrepreneurs, young and old that can assist in the development and management of coherent, sustainable and transformational programs. |
