Ever wanted to have your very own Social Enterprise?

If you've ever wished you had your own Social Enteprise but don't have the time to start one just yet, now you can own one, literally. Check out Ashoka Fellow Tamzlin Ractliffe's SASIX, the South African Social Investment Exchange--the South African Social Enterprise version of Wall Street.

It's as easy as 1, 2, 3. You can 1) Search (by sector, province, or even by funding status--funded, partially funded, as well as unfunded); 2) Invest; and what is truly innovative is 3) track the social impact of your project.

I was interested in the Mount Ayliff Schools Maths and Science Improvement Project. On the page you can see the risk rating and the impact (see the graphs above for sample).

This one is new so there aren't any reports yet, but by viewing what seems like a sister school, you can see the reports over time covering how much has been spent and on what, as well as a review on the impact evaluation methods that are being utilized.

I was surprised to see that many projects had no shares left!
