Ongoing events have not deterred the efforts of social enterprises, small businesses that were born to tackle Peru\u2019s most pressing social and environmental challenges, in the framework of the United Nations\u2019 17 Sustainable Development Goals. To further add momentum and recognition to their efforts, Kunan launched the 7th edition of Peru\u2019s most widely recognized social entrepreneurship award, the Kunan Challenge, to identify and reward outstanding innovators.<\/p>\n
In 2021, the Kunan Challenge received support from the United Nations, Help Peru, Movistar, the Metropolitan Municipality of Lima, NESsT Peru and other organizations. In addition, Parque Arauco, AFP Integra, C\u00e1lidda, Fundaci\u00f3n Belcorp, Tasa and Danper sponsored the six categories of the Kunan 2021 Challenge, demonstrating the private sector is a great ally to develop social entrepreneurship. Each category received the support of government and third sector organizations. For the first time, we have six categories and a major prize worth 50,000 soles.<\/p>\n
