Exceptional Expertise
The Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship (FSE) inspires the next generation of young Change makers and invests in, incubates, accelerates and mentors high potential young social entrepreneurs in Assam and North East India to solve our most pressing social and environmental problems and to bring prosperity to the region.
By providing a range of tailored support high potential young social entrepreneurs; entrepreneurship and social innovation initiatives, training; and research & consulting we aim to drive the field of youth social entrepreneurship in the region.
As many countries despite positive growth rates cannot create adequate jobs to integrate all young people into the economy, youth entrepreneurship has emerged as alternative, as it integrates unemployed youth into the labor market and tackles poverty through the creation of jobs and stimulation of local while also providing a powerful tool to overcome the psychological impacts of long-term unemployment including low- self-esteem, diminished levels of wellbeing and isolation from peers. Therefore generating employment for young people not only provides them with a livelihood and fosters civic responsibility and social justice, but can also prevent bad decision resulting in social evils on their communities.
Youth in Assam is characterized by 2 problems to entrepreneurship:
- Many young people, even while suffering from unemployment, do not consider entrepreneurship as a desired career option as it has a negative image in their society or because society provides a negative image of entrepreneurs. In addition to the negative image young people entrepreneurial lack of role models, young entrepreneurs of similar background and from their country who have succeeded and therefore could inspire young people to follow them suit.
- Young entrepreneurs in Assam face various challenges due to their age. As youth entrepreneurship has an often negative image, these entrepreneurs lack supporting mechanism including networks, training and mentoring to take their business to the next level.
LETS SLOVE THE PROBLEM
OUR MISSION
Young people in Assam face a tremendous youth employment crisis and youth entrepreneurship is urgently needed. Our programs reach out to young people at two crucial steps in the entrepreneurial life circle: building an entrepreneurial culture among young people and raising awareness of youth entrepreneurship through role modeling of social entrepreneurs within our activities; and by empowering nascent entrepreneurs through our and our partner’s entrepreneurship programs.
Our unique positioning arises as we not only support already entrepreneurial youth as other entrepreneurship programs, we take one crucial step back and aim to stimulate entrepreneurial activities and inspire youth on a large scale to become entrepreneurs.
