Europese Vrienden van Goblis Foundation

Goblis Foundation is registered as a Non-Profit Entity and is responding to the dual crises of youth unemployment and climate change by creating an enabling environment to inspire hope under which young people from vulnerable and underserved backgrounds can act on their own behalf to uplift themselves and their communities from poverty.

The Foundation transforms marginalized and vulnerable young people into social entrepreneurs using a cost-effective and efficient process through community volunteers. We unbridle and nurture social entrepreneurship drive within each of the social entrepreneurs. Through personalized empowerment stages, we create original projects or improve the existing ones to help social entrepreneurs to engage in sustainable projects through self-management processes to define their own path through social innovation. Mentorship and training are conducted both physical and remoted through our online learning management. The foundation takes the innovation through various iteration cycles until a social business model is validated and traction gained. In this way, we enable our beneficiaries to turn community social challenges into opportunities which ultimately helps them to make a sustainable living which in turn improves their lives, that of their family and their communities. In this way, the beneficiaries create resilient and self-reliant communities by establishing their own solutions instead of waiting to get employed or get handouts and donations and this solves their challenges at the roots.
