This In the following context. The white paper described the role of information in the creation and sustainabilty of enterprise, identifying the class which deprived of access in the information age, who would also have been those left impoverished by the industrial age. The concept becoming better known later as the digital divide.

It described how communities might be empowered and educated and new business might be seeded by deployment of information infrastructure and that a social business model would be the most effective means of deployment, advocating this a model paying profit back into the community, as a replacement for the nonprofit model.

Having been successful in leveraging a microcredit bank in Russia based on this model, the microeconomic 'Marshall Plan' builds on the use of web technology in community telecentres to both bridge the digital divide in underserved rural communities and render profit to a primary social cause, which is the creation of family type group care homes for children currently in institutional care. This to be accompanied by microlending on national scale together with a new faculty for social enterprise in a national university.

By creating homes for children who are institutionalised in more than 90% of cases due to poverty than loss of parents, we aim to reduce the population which graduate from insitution into crime and vice, fuelliing an HIV epidemic which now exceeds 1% of population and the consequences and costs we bear in the rise of human trafficking.

Where I hope it will be interesting and helpful to the nonprofit community is to illustrate what a social business model might accomplish, I know for instance that Grameen Bank has plans to build a large scale network of rural telecentres wit similar objectives.

Most it should illustrate that charity alone cannot resolve pressing issues which have been with us for decades, that with a holistic plan and the support of business we can prevent the disenfrancchised of today, simply being replaced by those of a succeeding generation.
