More than Just a Job
Hagar Social Enterprise Group
Social business is about dignity. It’s about women and
youth taking control of their future. Pursuing it. Seeing it
come to life.
It isn’t just about a pay check or paying the bills every
month (though it does that as well). It’s all about social
capital - the ability of Hagar’s women and youth to
access and contribute to their families, workplaces and
communities with confidence.
In 2010, HSEG improved services to Hagar clients by
pursuing new business partnerships and deepening
longstanding ones.
The result? Dozens of women and youth from Hagar
found more than just a job. They discovered opportunities
for growth and empowerment. They found their voice.
And they realized their potential. That’s the power of
social capital through business.
Highlights
• A new investor came Hagar Catering’s table in October 2010. With 30 years of experience in the catering and
hospitality industry, Alain Dupuis and Adam Philippe bring renewed life and professionalism to Hagar’s longestrunning
and successful social business.
• Joma Bakery Café, Hagar’s enterprise partner opened their first shops in Hanoi, Vietnam providing job opportunities
for many Hagar clients. The business was also voted “Best Café of the Year” by The Word Magazine in Hanoi, which
strengthened Joma’s local reputation as a socially conscience business delivering an excellent product.
