A Two-Pronged Model: The Union of For-Profit Local Social Business and Global Humanitarian Non-Profit
Based on market conditions, Uno Mundo, our for-profit social business, will be established in the community of León, Nicaragua, which it intends to serve. This will be directly linked to our global NGO, Love Extends.
Uno Mundo will provide direct economic growth and opportunity through employment and training programs. Above and beyond operational costs, 100% of our profits will be channeled into Love Extends, which will create and maintain the educational and social programs that will eventually serve a more global network of orphanages, youth development centers and more.
There are a variety of channels through which we can cultivate Uno Mundo into a successful business that honors the Four Pillars–EDUCATION, ECOLOGY, SOCIAL and ECONOMY
Uno Mundo will:
- Serve as a center for conservation, leisure and cultural exchange
- Focus greatly on volunteer opportunities for foreign travelers
- Offer a wide variety of activities from hiking and surfing to helping local children learn “with” math, reading and art
- Offer a range of accommodations from ecolodge amenity suites to outdoor camping
- Cultivate on-site farmland to fuel the entrees in our farm-to-table restaurant and food share programs
- Contribute to the local economy by leveraging local resources for additional food sources, goods, and services
- Offer employment to local residents as a first priority in all areas of operation, at wages that exceed the average of $10/day
- Serve as a responsibly-profitable business model for the local community
- Serve as a malleable blueprint for projects analogous to Uno Mundo that will be created later by Love Extends
Love Extends: 501c3 Non-Profit
Love Extends is a global NGO (non-governmental organization) focused on support and development for at-risk youth, young single mothers, and under-served communities, while responsibly building cross-cultural relations that enhance and inspire the lives of all participants. By channeling resources into a global NGO, which will oversee the development of our youth and community projects, we can achieve financial sustainability and international support for our cause. As Love Extends represents the umbrella organization, Uno Mundo can be seen as the pole, while the mechanisms that give it rise and form would be us.
