| description | A social enterprise is situated in the context of business ventures that lead to sustainable human development. It is sustainable because it encourages the constant and increasing activity of domestic and communitarian economy, in harmony with the environment. From this point of view, the proposed strategy for microcredits, managed by Quinuapata commune, can be understood as a social enterprise. Additionally, this type of business venture is protected under the Ecuadorian Political Constitution and the Republic’s Legal framework. Quinuapata commune is a prototype of social-communitarian development, evidenced by its microcredit, payment collection and credit assignment strategies. In order for this to work, it is required that people know each other, that their word is trusted over signed documents, that there exists an environment conductive of mutual support, and that achievements are shared with neighbors. These demands are based upon the ancestral teaching: ama llulla, ama quilla y ama shua. [Quichua for to not lie, to not be lazy, to not steal]. The self-improvement technique devised by the residents, in itself, is a criticism to the worldwide capitalist system, for which the capital must be prioritized over human beings and the planet’s destruction is a tolerable mean to reach an ultimate end (capital accumulation). |

Una empresa social se ubica en el marco de los emprendimientos tendientes al desarrollo humano sustentable. Es sustentable porque promueve la actividad creciente y constante de la economía doméstica y comunitaria, en armonía con el ecosistema. Desde esta óptica, la estrategia de microcréditos propuesta y manejada por la comuna de Quinuapata se puede catalogar como una empresa social. Además este tipo de emprendimiento está protegido por la Constitución Política del Ecuador y las Leyes de la República.La comuna de Quinuapata es un prototipo de desarrollo social-comunitario, por el tipo de microcrédito que maneja, la estrategia de cobranza aplicada y la forma de asignación del mismo. Para ello se requiere que las personas se conozcan, que la palabra dada esté por sobre los documentos escritos, que haya un clima de apoyo mutuo y que los logros se compartan con los vecinos. Estas exigencias se fundan en las enseñanzas ancestrales: ama llulla, ama quilla y ama shua.El estilo de superación ingeniada por estos pobladores, en sí mismo, es una crítica al sistema capitalista de orden mundial, para el que el capital está por sobre los seres humanos y la devastación del planeta es un medio tolerable para alcanzar el fin (acumulación del capital).
