A cooperative is a group of persons or companies who have common needs and who, in order to satisfy them, join together to operate an enterprise in accordance with cooperative rules of action. Power is exercised democratically by the members. Like the joint-stock company, the cooperative is a legal person distinct from its members and the liability of each member is limited to the value of the shares subscribed. However, it differs from other enterprises in the way its surpluses are distributed. Among other things, they are given to the members in the form of rebates, depending on the use of each of the cooperative's services.
Although it must be profitable, its primary objective is to meet the needs of its members in the most efficient way possible. It belongs to all its members equally: when decisions have to be made, they are made democratically by the principle of one member, one vote.
So, this is why the cooperative Jeunes vie de l'avenir Burundais "JEVABU" was created by the founders.
