Non-Profit social enterprise Relate makes its business out of selling bracelets to fund causes.

According to Relate CEO Neil Robinson, the enterprise's ability to operate as a business and put business principles into place is what caught the interest of Harvard.

"What got Harvard excited is the fact that we are a social enterprise NPO that operates as a business," he said. "We try to make a profit, then give it all away."

"In the number of years that we've existed, we've raised close to R50m for causes across the world as well as in the townships," he added.
