Creating Prosperity for Communities and Investors

We are excited to announce the undertaking of a very special project.  The Clean Gold Community Solutions is inspired by our experience in El Oro Province, Ecuador, introducing enterprise development and economic diversification to artisanal miners and their communities. We were then invited to work with miners in a northern region of Ecuador.

Clean Gold Community Solutions helps to solve a crucial problem. Artisanal miners are living below the poverty line even though they’re sitting on millions of dollars’ worth of gold.  Using the SEF Canada model created in consultation with the community, the miners are partners in Clean Gold, giving them greater financial security. 


New Gold believes in ensuring that communities benefit from our activities to the greatest extent possible. While we ensure we act responsibly in attending to the environmental aspects of closure, it is important to our company that we make sure that our neighboring communities are left with a bright future. By supporting entrepreneurship within the communities around CSP, we can see that future. Congratulations to the community.
— Dennis Wilson, Director at Environmental & Social Responsibility

By aiding the education and technological growth, providing environmentally friendly systems, in these communities, especially in gold processing, could not be more relevant to our mission. Clean Gold Community Solutions has pooled the best people for this project. World-renowned mining and community development experts have also been engaged. We have the management, talent and relationships to make Clean Gold successful.

With our Entrepreneurial Program (ED), SEF Canada has earned a stellar reputation and proven track record for driving entrepreneurial development in over 300 communities worldwide.We also want to assure you that Clean Gold is aligned with our overall mission: to assist communities in the development of sustainable economic futures. Staying focused, our other projects are still growing and producing exceptional results.

We treasure your investments and are always endeavouring to develop our goals.There is nothing we want more than for all involved in our projects to thrive successfully in a humane ecosystem. By uniting workforces around the globe while adhering strongly to ethical conduct, businesses will develop whose profits benefit communities at large. 

Here’s to a better world.


The vicious poverty and abusive circle can only be stopped by providing tools for building the community, something SEF has been involved in for decades. By providing artisanal mining the community with alternative incomes, education, economic stability and healthy environment, women are in a much better position to independently flourish economically. Having the training themselves and reaping the benefits, the women are strongly inspired to educate their children, girls included, which benefits us all. Investors are supporting the Social Impact on the community with their monies. It’s a Heart-Mind investment.”
