Aki Solutions
“For too long we have used the same business models to solve indigenous problems/issues and we have been getting nowhere. AKI takes business tools and works to “Indigenize them” – developing new approaches to old issues.”
As true community change-agents, we listen to communities to help them:
Solve problems
Create capacity
Create jobs
We are solutions-providers, and we seek to develop solutions that build:
Opportunities
Communities
Enterprises
Entrepreneurs
