OUR MISSION
The HAPI mission is to show how local initiatives, strong communities and creativity can start a movement that can ultimately change our energetic, economic and democratic systems. First we must find new paths leading to common prosperity and resilience. The HAPI film does not claim to have all the answers, however, it showcases people inventing and trying to start the movement. We hope these stories will empower you and drive your passion to effect change in your job, community and neighborhood—essentially giving purpose and meaning to your actions. Below listed are some of the topics we will explore in further detail in this feature.
1.
Economic Empowerment
Economic empowerment through economic literacy is having the knowledge and capacity of women and men to participate, contribute and benefit from. Each growth processes in ways that recognize the value of their contributions, respect their dignity and make it possible to negotiate a fairer distribution of the benefits of growth. This film not only focuses on economic empowerment but delivers methods on how to achieve knowledge and understanding.
2.
Cooperative Economics
Cooperative economics was the cornerstone of Nile Valley culture. The Ancient Egyptians understood that in order to be successful they had to work together collectively and with their neighbors. Cooperative economics is an inclusive economic discipline and when executed correctly the community as a whole benefits. In order for cooperative economics to be successful we must support the businesses in our communities and we must foster entrepreneurship.
3.
Black Business
Black business development is the core of our economic empowerment and it is through this enterprise, we can address other institutions dedicated to economic stimulus within the Black community. Black businesses must continue to expand their impact and reach within the community. They must also continue to expand their networks throughout the African continent and African Diaspora.
4. The HAPI Movement
The HAPI movement is the execution of ideas and concepts set forth for the development of our economic empowerment. Success is being prepared for the opportunity when it presents itself. Our primary objective is to provide the community with information and dialogue that stimulates their economic growth.
It’s NOT just a film it’s a HAPI MOVEMENT!!!
