Kenya Social Investment Exchange has launched


Yesterday launched East Africa's first stock exchange for social enterprises.



The reason is to give investors the opportunity to invest in quality assured social enterprises, and promote social entrepreneurship within the region through access to capital that may increase the scalability and impact of social enterprises.

It will also initially be quoted a fund for investments in social enterprises, or Social Purpose Enterprises (SPEs) that it is known as down here.

Exchange is supported by the Nairobi Stock Exchange, the Rockefeller Foundation and the Aga Khan Foundation.

I think this is a big step forward for social entrepreneurship in the region.
