Welcome to the SEA web-site! Social Enterprise (Africa) CIC is a Community Interest Company based in the UK, but with links to countries in West and East Africa.  Although we are based in the UK, we frequently work in Africa to support NGOs in rural and impoverished urban areas. We are interested in finding ways to bring economic infusion into Africa, either through trade mechanisms, especially Fair Trade, the support of indigenous NGOs and CBOs, or through innovative projects, which work to alleviate poverty in Africa. This web-site is the home of the Butterfly Project, a unique answer to tackling poverty, by empowering capable young people, that have grown up in the most disadvantaged areas, to become the social entrepreneurs of the future.    Click through now to see latest developments on this project .
