Comboni Alliance for Social Entrepreneurship (CASE) is a faith-based social enterprise that was established in 2018 to respond to African social challenges and create a new model of sustainability for the church and Africa.
CASE was founded to respond to various social challenges, especially amongst the most disadvantaged groups in the society.
CASE develops a capacity for social innovation and promotion of social entrepreneurship. The idea of CASE is inspired by Daniel Comboni’s vision of the regeneration of Africa as a path to the social transformation of the continent.
CASE is registered as a Trust in Kenya and belongs to the Comboni Missionaries working in 16 African countries. Hence CASE is the umbrella body that coordinates the promotion of social enterprises in 16 African countries. CASE activities focus on the socioeconomic gaps in society and seek to find innovative approaches to address them by developing the capacity of people.
