About Us

Our mission

We help organizations and purpose-driven entrepreneurs to grow social ventures and economic development programs that serve vulnerable or marginalized communities. Our final impact translates into decent jobs, income for the vulnerable, skilled people, strong, sustainable local organizations and prosperous communities.

Synerb is a nonprofit, nongovernmental and apolitical organization. 

Our Values

Empathy

While our support to social business and community leaders is knowledge based in nature, we recognize entrepreneurs and managers as holistic human beings and strive to become their trusted advisor.

Education

Social businesses and enterprising nonprofits take longer than commercial businesses to mature and grow. It is a slow journey strewn with many difficulties, but we believe in education as a shaping force on this path. We’ve witnessed their transformation and we know that tailored learning experiences build the leaders of the field. We learn together.

Evidence based management

We base our support and help on data and facts. We embed a data-driven approach in our consulting practice and constantly challenge leaders and managers to understand what data means, from community and customer feedback to variations in the profit and loss, and social impact metrics.

Excellence

We commit to transparency and integrity, with proper planning, execution, and diving deep into details.

Environment

We design our programs to embody sustainable environmental practices and we encourage our partners to do the same.
