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.
