WHAT IS A SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR? 

Social entrepreneurs are pioneers. They identify gaps in their community and design innovative solutions to bridge these gaps in the long run using their entrepreneurial skills, whether it is fighting against exclusion, eradicating poverty or cleaning up the environment. These local solutions have global relevance: social entrepreneurs build sustainable models with a view to drive systemic change.

“Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry”

– Bill Drayton, Founder & CEO, ASHOKA

 

 

WE BUILD A SUPPORT ECOSYSTEM

Leaving the beaten track to focus on solving a pressing social need can be a lonely journey: many skills and support networks are no longer relevant, your friends and family don’t understand your situation, you feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the issue you are trying to impact. Conventional business support services don’t talk your language, but nor do most social charities. And sometimes your personal needs seem insignificant in the context of the wider reality so you forget to invest in yourself and your health with all the dire consequences.
