CommunityInvestments
Create local governance mechanisms based on collaborative social- and economic values.
Generate monetary assets (power plants, distribution systems and factories) which provide access to formal credit markets and centralize development initiatives to a local level.
Manifest business- and management expertise to operate and maintain commercial enterprises. Social- and economic capacity building via scale-up initiatives.
Create decentralized social investment opportunities (i.e. education facilities and infrastructure) through the control and isolation of fund channels which are presently inefficient (kerosene, candles, battery charging)
