Community Enterprise Solutions (CE Solutions), a US Not for Profit 501 (c) (3), is a social entrepreneurship innovation incubator and implementation mechanism. CE Solutions creates access where there was none and jobs where there were none. We empower self-sufficient business and educational entrepreneurs to create sustainable impact in developing world communities. We work with our local constituents in Guatemala and Ecuador (currently expanding to Nicaragua) to both identify long-standing economic, health and educational needs and design and execute innovative solutions. CE Solutions changes "obstacles into opportunities" by converting traditional relief solutions into high-impact and locally owned and managed social enterprises and institutions. We work from the ground up creating engines of development that continually raise peoples' standards of living.

In order to implement CE Solutions’ work on a sustainable and continuous basis,
creating a sense of ownership and instilling leadership, we have established three
locally owned and run entities in Guatemala. These are Soluciones Comunitarias
(SolCom), which runs the entrepreneurial initiatives, Turismo Ixil, which runs the
tourism businesses, and The Centro Explorativo Association, which runs the
education initiatives. This type of local empowerment is what development is all
about.
