Global Impact

Businesses run by local people,
built from local resources.

We find local founders abroad and help them build revenue models and operating systems that use local resources, aiming for businesses that run on revenue rather than donations.

Principles

Three principles in the field

01

Local leaders in charge

A local leader runs the business; missionaries serve as mentors and stewards.

02

Local resources

We start by looking at businesses that can run on local produce, skills and people.

03

Returns stay in the field

Wages support local families, and as a rule, profits are reinvested in the business and the next venture.
