Social Cooperative

A social cooperative is a community-oriented organization where members work together to achieve common social, economic, or cultural goals. Unlike traditional businesses driven primarily by profit, social cooperatives prioritize social well-being, inclusion, and mutual support. Members often share ownership and decision-making, emphasizing collaboration and shared responsibility. These cooperatives can operate in sectors like healthcare, education, social services, or employment integration, helping vulnerable or marginalized groups participate actively in society. The core idea is to combine economic activity with social purpose, fostering a more equitable and inclusive community environment.
