Community Empowerment Solutions

About

Location: New York City, USA

Founded: 2001

Mission: The mission of the MicroConsignment Model is to create first-time access to life-changing technologies, products and services for isolated villagers through locally-owned, managed and sustainable (profitable) entrepreneurial solutions. Poverty and inequality is a symptom of a wider problem: lack of access and opportunity. Microcredit has offered one solution to this problem: access to capital for entrepreneurs in the developing world.  But so far no one has implemented—at scale—a model that creates access to economic, health and environmental solutions to a wide spectrum of issues, including chronic conditions such as pulmonary and gastrointestinal illnesses, vision problems, malnutrition, water scarcity, and lack of energy.  Community Enterprise Solutions (CE Solutions) has solved this access problem through the creation and implementation of its MicroConsignment Model (MCM).
