First pilot in Senegal: social entrepreneurship and sustainable mobility

The Project “SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT AND LABOUR INSERTION” basically seeks to achieve three objectives:

– Facilitate access to an ecological system of eco and sustainable mobility: electric bicycles; to which is coupled a trailer developed by SocentLabo

– Encouraging the employability of people at risk of exclusion from the labor market (mainly young people) thanks to the professional and administrative training and the incorporation into a social enterprise supported in the context of the project (now prototype under construction and start-up of an pilot project in Morocco).

 

We have launched the first pilot recently in Senegal with several bikes on a renting basis oreinted to local customers and also to rural tourists. We are though this initiative helping small businesses to increase their incomes.
