To briefly explain, CE Solutions leadership and Social Entrepreneur Corps interns execute the MicroConsignment Model to establish profitable income generating opportunities (and the infrastructure and network for a national, local social enterprise) for primarily women that to date are selling products such as wood burning stoves, reading glasses, water filters, seeds and gardening techniques and energy efficient light bulbs to villagers at an appropriate price, in the appropriate manner and at the appropriate place. Through the MicroConsignment Model local individuals with entrepreneurial qualities can start their own business through “sweat equity” and realize profits from inception. As well, we collaborate with local strategic partner organizations to adapt local solutions and train and support local entrepreneurs who serve rural communities within designated territories. What drives the model is that is an interdisciplinary, intuitive and non-linear approach whereby all stakeholders add value. The model utilizes a rotating capital mechanism with exceedingly low start- up costs that are continually reinvested. In essence, the MicroConsignment Model intervenes at all levels by creating an “ecosystem” whereby problems are diagnosed and products are encountered/designed which are then inserted into the distribution model via the locally trained and supported entrepreneurs.
