Why does our organization initiate social entrepreneurship?

Implementation of self-financing activities, we want to combine two objectives:• employ people at risk of social exclusion and disadvantage persons in the current labor market• to have a business for strengthening the independence and sustainability of the organization

Page 24: Apz prezentácia aj

Social objective / primary motivation

is to provide work in legal relations employment for disadvantaged persons in the labor market and specifically to our target group, which are single women / mothers in need.

Page 25: Apz prezentácia aj

The financial objective / secondary motivation

is to create a profit organizations to ensure the organization in the case of absence of other sources of funding, since each current source of funding is threatened.

Page 26: Apz prezentácia aj

26

Making a profit is dependent on several aspects:

whether legislative changes will promote the creation of social firms

whether there will be the financial support of social employment resulting from the legislation

what will be Europe-wide trends towards public participation in solving and creating new elements in addressing the problems of people at risk of social exclusion

whether there will develop a peer networks of all sectors - public, private and nonprofit
