Missie & Visie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n
Mijn missie<\/strong> is om kinderen te helpen de emotionele vaardigheden te ontwikkelen die ze nodig hebben om niet alleen te overleven, maar juist op te bloeien in een wereld die vaak uitdagend is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mijn visie<\/strong> is om kinderen wereldwijd de emotionele handvatten te geven die ze nodig hebben om met uitdagingen om te gaan, veerkracht op te bouwen en op te bloeien, om zo de weg vrij te maken voor een mooiere toekomst voor henzelf en hun gemeenschap.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Hoe ik te werk ga: Een sociale onderneming in de groeifase<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Ik geloof dat hulpmiddelen voor emotionele veerkracht en transformerende verhalen toegankelijk moeten zijn voor elk kind, ongeacht het budget. Om dit duurzaam te maken, opereert Joy Garden als een sociale onderneming in de groeifase, waarbij een gezonde bedrijfsvoering in balans wordt gebracht met directe maatschappelijke impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Herinvestering van commerci\u00eble omzet<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Momenteel wordt 10% van de nettowinst <\/strong>uit de boekverkoop en betaalde workshops geherinvesteerd om gratis boeken, mindfulnesslessen en educatieve hulpmiddelen te sponsoren voor kinderen die dit hard nodig hebben.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Mijn langetermijnvisie<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Naarmate Joy Garden groeit en de operationele kosten dalen, is het mijn doel om deze impact gestaag te vergroten. In de loop van de tijd wil ik de herinvestering verhogen van 10% naar 50% van de nettowinst<\/strong>, om zo het aanbod van gratis boeken en educatieve programma's voor kinderen wereldwijd uit te breiden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dank je wel dat je deel uitmaakt van deze reis. Door mijn werk te steunen, help je mee aan het bouwen van een duurzame onderneming die haar impact jaar na jaar vergroot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Het verhaal achter de missie: De visles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Voordat ik Joy Garden oprichtte, startte ik twee bedrijven die nooit echt van de grond kwamen. Als ik daarop terugkijk, voelde die ervaring heel erg als de vistripjes met mijn familie in mijn jeugd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ik was altijd vreselijk slecht in vissen. Iedereen om me heen haalde de ene na de andere vis uit het water, maar ik ving werkelijk nooit iets. Ik nam aan dat het kwam omdat mijn hart er niet echt naar uitging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tot de dag dat we op piranha's gingen vissen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zoals gewoonlijk haalde de rest de ene na de andere piranha boven water. Maar toen gebeurde er iets geks. Ik begon vissen te vangen, de een na de andere. Alleen waren het geen piranha's zoals bij de rest, het waren meervallen. Later hoorde ik dat de lokale bevolking de meerval enorm waardeert als een krachtig symbool van overvloed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nDe beroemde meerval en ik, het levende bewijs dat het verkeerde pad je soms precies brengt waar je moet zijn (en ja, de vis is weer veilig teruggezet in het water!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Die dag is me altijd bijgebleven. Het deed me beseffen waarom mijn eerdere bedrijven niet van de grond kwamen: mijn persoonlijke kracht lag ergens anders. In plaats van me puur te focussen op standaard commerci\u00eble maatstaven, voelde ik een sterke drang om een structuur neer te zetten waarin bedrijfsgroei en menselijke impact hand in hand gaan. Ik wist dat ik het roer om moest gooien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Door Joy Garden te runnen als een sociale onderneming, zijn mijn bedrijfsstructuur en mijn hart eindelijk met elkaar in lijn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
