Local Value Creation (6/6)

We are currently working on an English version of this video. Thank you for your patience.

Usthi pursues the vision that our local partner organisations can act independently in the long term. That is why we support local value creation and strengthen our partners and their financial sustainability. One aspect of this support is the establishment of local social enterprises. The profits from these social enterprises go towards financing our social projects. At the same time, fair local jobs are created.

Find out more about our social enterprise approach.

This short film is part of the six-part Usthi portrait series. All episodes can be found in our media library. The series was made possible thanks to many volunteers. Heartfelt thanks to everyone involved.
