What is a Social Enterprise?
Social Enterprise is a more ethical, dynamic and independent way to do business. Social entrepreneurs are usually driven by an overriding passion to improve the world in which we live. It may be a national business, set up to help tackle poverty. It may be a safe food café set up by a group of friends to serve patients in a cancer hospital or it may be an individual that realises the need for value education to be brought to their village.
If there is a problem in your community and you have an idea how it could be solved, or just something you see that could be improved, then you are on your way to becoming a Social Entrepreneur.
A social enterprise will be socially progressive, environmentally conscious and fiscally sound.
