A solution to Corruption? - Social Enterprise #2

A solution to Corruption? - Social Enterprise 


The Social Enterprise model differs from a traditional charity model, as the recipients are paying a fair price for the good or service. As long as the customers continue to purchase the good, there is proof that the product is needed.



The main benefit of this model compared to charity, is the sustainability and long-term impact. Charity donations are largely affected by the current economic conditions in the donor country, and as such, donation levels can vary drastically. In periods of strong economic prosperity, charities receive large donations that can be distributed to the developing nations in need. The problem arises when these funds are reduced. The services and goods that were being relied upon stop arriving from the charities and as a result, many individuals and families are placed in a precariously isolated situation.



From a broad perspective, and from the arguments above, my team and I truly believe that Social Enterprise was the answer in Malawi, among other struggling nations. It completely bypasses all traditional routes for corruption, and with time, an array of individual social enterprise entities can be established from the research and findings that we spent several weeks creating.

London

London is another city that is rich with culture and history. Around every corner there is a structural masterpiece, whether new or old, they all make up the iconic skyline of London. Starting out where the Queen resides,  Buckingham Palace is always on the top of the to do list while in London, although it is beautiful to just admire, it's also worth taking a look at the Changing of the Guards timetable  and try to get a bit of a show in too!   Of course another favourite is the London Eye, which gives you probably one of the best views of London. You're able to look left and see the city which has been built up with business buildings and The Shard, and to the right, it's more historic with Westminster Abbey, Big Ben and Buckingham Palace.  Finally, London also has some great shopping destinations, such as Oxford St, Carnaby St and Covent Garden, where you're able to walk the streets, see some architecture all while window shopping.  - Jade

Nadi  The Fiji islands is north of Australia. It's capital is Suva which is on Viti levu and the tourist city is Nadi which is on Van levu. It has a population of one million. The people of Fiji are known for their friendliness, hospitality and their uniqueness hence they all "run on Fiji time". I went to Dolai suva national park where they had a naturally made water spring along with a water fall usually tourists aren't allowed but thanks to my friend we got a chance to vist the beautiful place, we had kasava and dalo the staple crops of fiji.  Suva city  I recommend that you try these restaurants when you are at Fiji Gokul(Suva),  Blooywood cafe, Tappo city(in cities), Kylin(Nadi), Mama city(Nadi), Asiana(Lautuka).            Maya Dhaba, Suva Fiji -Asad Shahani
