Make debt/ equityinvestments in GS4Gcampuses includingstudent loans To be sustainable enterprise every campus of GS4G must beeconomically viable The GS4G Foundation would retain majority ownership toensure mission integrity Return on equity may be set at capital preservation (or closeto 0%) for a period of time Operational costs to be covered from proceeds of on-campusentrepreneurial activities Student loans from the GS4G Foundation repaid uponemployment following graduation 23. Location selection is critical and local knowledge essential Extensive community consultation an important first step and theScale up creatingeconomic, social andenvironmental impactrationale for an all girls school accepted Local community must supply the land and the labour Best practice sustainable building design, sourcing constructionmaterials locally The campus would be a focal point for the community in providing acatalyst for sustainable development; i.e. food and water security,employment and business development Volunteer networks would be tapped to import skills and knowledgeunavailable locally 24. GS4G must not be positioned as a charitable organisation, but as abusiness with different motivations; i.e. it seeks to maximiseeconomic, social and environmental welfare not profit. Development is freedom from hand-outs. A persons dignity is notserved by charity, and GS4G is about contributing to the creation ofstrong, self-sufficient and resilient communities. Successful GS4G campuses can provide financial returns to the GS4GFoundation and also provide mentorship for new campuses.Recycle returns tomake new investments 25.
