Ⅰ. Outline of Smile Together Partnership

Smile Together Partnership

Since 2011, the Work Together Foundation has been promoting its Smile Together Partnership (STP), a project that supports the establishment of social enterprises and operational assistance in developing countries. Through the project, it has been working to alleviate poverty faced by children in various developing countries. In addition, STP attempts to support the creation of employment opportunities that respect the local culture while maintaining its sustainability. Through social enterprises, STP strives to provide employment for parents so that their children can receive better care at home. It also supports social enterprises that provide employment and educational opportunities for youths who have to work, allowing them to take their first step in society.

3

Principles

We are seeking for projects with below principles① A project physically based in a local community and working with

residents: The foundation believes most problems come from the urban cen-tralization of the population and little wealth redistribution in the lo-cal community. The ST Project supports community-based social enterprises, which revitalize the community economy and make people feel proud of their community.

② A project nurturing leadership in local people: If international or national NGOs are engaged in a project, they should have clear picture of when they will step out of the project, even if it’s a long-term involvement. To attain this, the organization should develop the capability of the local staff during its project.

③ A project which created a sustainable business model without harming the local community: Most of the businesses in underdeveloped and developing countries take advantage of of low labor costs and harm the environment. In addition, lots of the free training programs run by NGOs are in the service industry, since these skills can be taught in the short-term and results are easily seen. This causes the centralization of the population and environmental problems. The ST Project would like to support the building of competitive working skills and business models that don't harm the environment.

Evaluation Criteria:

① Clarity of social purpose and the social problem that needs to be solved② Feasibility or actual establishment of social enterprises that aim to

provide solutions for impoverished children③ Possibility of providing direct support to impoverished children④ Networking with local community⑤ Enterprise sustainability even after support from the Work Together

Foundation ⑥ Institution’s ability to conduct the enterprise responsibly⑦ Effective budgeting and ensuring transparency

The details of the implementation

① Financial support

On average $30,000 (USD) for a fiscal year (from $20,000 to $200,000 on each project)

② Non-financial support Business consultancy services with the uGET program of the School of Management at Yonsei Univ. and pro bono business consultants Pro bono professional consultancy services from the business industry Connecting business field related resources and networks for facilitating further support

The establishment of CraftPEACE Café would generate more jobs for the Banteay Prieb trainees to work. All the earnings from the CraftPEACE Café will go back to operating Banteay Prieb, hence, it becomes self-reliant and creates more jobs and for disabled and youths.

uGET ProjectThe Work Together Foundation has been cooperating with Yonsei University for the undergraduate Global Experience Team project (uGET Project) since 2009. This project is designed to give students opportunities to broaden their global perspective and experience through conducting projects and research overseas. The Work Together Foundation has sent uGET project groups to the sites where the Smile Together Partnership projects are going on for consultation. The outcome of the uGET project is maximized through the collaboration with the WT's professional pro-bono business management and accounting consultants.
