IMPACT
INNOVATIONS

We have introduced and empowered 25 innovations. We have introduced 14 HR&S innovations and empowered 11 RISE member innovations.

The innovations include: new products, new services, new production methods, new sustainable economy models and new modes of social enterprising and of small scale business in vulnerable settlements. Many of the supported enterprises are operating within vulnerable settlements, thus providing products and services for the underserved.
