Social Entrepreneurship?

 

What is Social Enterpreneurship

Social Enterprise roughly means making the world better through the efforts of for-profits and non-profits and broadly covers problems in the areas of poverty, health, education, the environment, and other social issues. Social Entrepreneurship uses principles from business to help manage a venture that creates social change. Social enterprises are usually revenue generating and leverage their profits to create that social change.
