RESPECT is, at its origin, an association of established small entrepreneurs who promote entrepreneurship to create self-sustainable income generating activities among the vulnerable groups of the Mauritian population.
RESPECT, as an NGO, derives its name from its mission to propagate 'respect for the planet' (Protection of environment), 'respect for our people' (civism, multicultural harmony) and 'respect for entrepreneurs' (who are creators of employment & of goods essential for life while they are subject to all sorts of obstacles in the process)
