Programs
Two programmes. One commitment to opportunity and community-led progress.
Some journeys begin with a social entrepreneur who needs a clearer route forward. Others begin with a community that knows what needs to change in its locality. Jikimu and Mashinani respond differently, but both centre agency, capable partners and accountable follow-through.
Jikimu — Social Entrepreneurship Support Program
For people building solutions with a social purpose.
Jikimu identifies or receives promising social entrepreneurs, assesses fit and readiness, clarifies support needs, makes responsible specialist referrals and follows progression over time.

For locally identified rural development opportunities.
Mashinani diagnoses opportunities in their place-based context, validates priorities with local actors, organises suitable institutions and follows the response through evidence and outcomes.

Make a practical difference through the programme that matches your purpose.
You may bring an idea, specialist knowledge, a community priority, funding or simply a question. Explore the right programme first, then discuss a responsible way to participate.
How the programs can connect
A Mashinani diagnostic may identify a viable social-enterprise opportunity. With the person or enterprise’s consent, that opportunity can be referred into Jikimu. The programmes remain distinct: Mashinani keeps the place-based development context; Jikimu manages the social-entrepreneur pathway.
Access to services
Your entry, decisions and exit should be understandable from the start.
Explore the Participant Success Centre for assisted entry, programme fit, partner responsibilities, safeguards and what happens after a referral or initiative closes. A conditional small-grant pathway is separate from ordinary programme selection and requires a verified donor fund.
