NESsT’s major goal is to transform lives by investing in social enterprises that provide dignified employment for communities facing isolation, discrimination, and lack of job skills and poor education.  We believe that locally based social enterprises are uniquely qualified to transform these communities. These enterprises are on the ground, have the trust of the communities, and have created businesses aligned with their best interests. These enterprises are on the ground, have the trust of the communities, and have created businesses aligned with their best interests
