THE POSSIBILITY PROJECT BY K I M PE A RCE The Possibility Project is a social enterprise, founded by Kath Davis and Kim Pearce. Their principle aim is to bring simple solutions to complex issues by encouraging people to take a creative (entrepreneurial) approach to problem solving. A bout a month after meeting Kath while walking my kids to their new school in Sydney, and over our first cup of tea, I asked Kath if she would like to join me with some work I was doing in Jaipur in India. She pretty much agreed immediately. To this day it’s Kath’s spontaneity and faith in the unknown, combined with my love of learning and teaching that keeps us moving forward. 6 We set off to Jaipur in February 2013: it was during this trip ‘The Possibility Project’ (TPP) and ‘slumwear108’ were seeded. Even though I had taught business studies for over 20 years, The Possibility Project has been all about un-learning what I knew about starting a business and just doing! I had to embrace the idea of failure and let go of ego (pretty much the same thing), something that came naturally to Kath and in this space anything is truly possible.
