世界各地的本地解决方案

In our previous video, we considered problems that social entrepreneurs confronted, across the globe. Let’s hear now the solutions they found to these problems. We came up with the idea of creating a business that could collect products, sell them outside the country, and then bring money into the rural communities. Then the rural communities would have money coming in to them, which could then be spent on other businesses. So we thought that if we took them, we help them produce something of good quality that would be desirable to people overseas, we could then buy that from them at a fair price, send the products overseas, get our money back and buy more crafts.

And so we decided to set up a small exporting company, working with just probably around 18 to 20 artisans’ groups that we started with. It struck me that there was a space in the marketplace for a kind of childcare that was high-quality good, but actually created a place where children from all families could be educated and cared for together. And I couldn’t find one like that in the current space. So you either had the state sector, which is reducing because of its sustainability issues, you had schools, or you had the private sector. So it struck me that there must be a way of creating really high quality childcare for poorer families, that provided them with the same education outcome.

因此，我们一直在莱夫（Leyf）试图做的是补贴越来越多的孩子。因此，目前，我们补贴了一半的孩子。因此，您可能会谈论免费报价，但实际上不是免费的。因为如果我们不补贴，那些孩子买不起，因为我们负担不起为他们付费。因此，目前，所有的Leyf苗圃都是“好”或“出色的”。实际上，我们超过了伦敦平均值，现在我们超过了英国平均值。因此，我们可以证明实际上您可以开发一个模型，该模型在高剥夺领域为所有儿童提供优质的育儿。

And that’s a model I think we should be scaling, because if we can do it, and we can demonstrate it’s sustainable, and we can demonstrate it has the right outcomes for children, I can’t understand why we haven’t got social enterprise nurseries just about everywhere. The Atlanta Community Food Bank’s mission is to educate, empower and engage the community in the fight against hunger. The main single biggest thing that we do is that we provide food to over 600 agencies, in 29 counties, covering about a 9000 square mile area, most of the north-western portion of the state of Georgia.

And we do that through a combination of public and private donations, but 75% of our food that we distribute, which will about 50 million pounds this year, that’s enough to feed more than 40 million people, will come from private donations. It comes from corporations, it comes from food drives, it comes from reclaiming food from restaurants and hotels, it comes from picking up food that’s surplus at grocery stores, And our funding is 100% private funding.

我们在各种政府计划下获得了一些有限的资金，这些资金可供私人组织购买食品，但除此之外，我们通过我们的领土与公司，公司和个人进行私人筹款活动，以资助食品银行的运营。我们从英国议会那里获得了一笔少量赠款，真正培训了一百名妇女如何创办企业或企业家精神。这让我们思考，您知道，培训真的可以使某人成为企业家吗？您是否有可能与某人一起度过10个小时，而在另一端，他们​​成为一名成功的企业家？

这是一个非常有趣的故事，您知道是女性从未做过任何生意，但她们总是知道如何做饭。因此，他们有做产品的技巧，但从这个意义上不知道市场，能够达到另一个层面，那就是我们说：“为什么只有贫民窟的女性？”为什么我妈妈也不应该成为故事的一部分，因为她像贫民窟中那个女人一样处于不利地位。我们可能会认为中产阶级或有钱的女人有能力，而不是。为什么还只是旧学校打电话和订购食物的方式呢？

There’s so much, for everything you have an app. why not an app for our food as well, for home food. So we started something called Million Kitchen, which is primarily a tech-driven, tech-enabled, which is web and app, home food discovery and delivery platform. It actually empowers every woman to be able to share her skill, in the most non-pain way, in the most comfortable way.
