Hope Bloom as a Social Enterprise & Charity Organization

Hope blooms functions are different from its competitors in the following ways:

 

Hope Bloom recently registered itself as a charity organization, previously it operated as a social enterprise obtaining resources like, land (abandoned garden from local community for cultivation), human resource (small children from nearby community) raised fund (mostly through donations) from its local community.

 

It had started farming business from a donation of 100 tomatoes from the city as a donation. Its core mission of business is to obtain resources from the community and in turn serve the community by initiating various social welfare programs, providing scholar ships to the deserving children of the deprived community. Its objective is not to optimise its profitability & to increase the wealth of the shareholders as the core objective of any commercial organization.
