Work Integration Social Enterprises

Work Integration Social Enterprises (WISEs) are businesses that prioritize social goals alongside making a profit. Their main focus is to create meaningful employment opportunities for people who face barriers to regular employment, such as long-term unemployed, individuals with disabilities, or marginalized groups. By providing work and training in a supportive environment, WISEs aim to foster economic independence and social inclusion. Although they operate like regular companies, their core mission is social impact, using their profits to sustain their work and expand opportunities for those in need.
