What is Social Entrepreneurship?
What is Social Entrepreneurship? Social entrepreneurs aim to help society as well as generate profits. A community of social entrepreneurs is able to recognize problems in the community, and then identify resources that can help address the problem. Many of the poorest provinces in the Philippines are in rural areas, made up of fisherfolk and farmers. They are normally susceptible to market prices and natural disasters. Using social entrepreneurial principles community members are able to access other sources of income, so the community is less susceptible to factors outside their control.
A social entrepreneurial community, and through them country, is able to maximize the opportunities presented to them. Their work helps their communities and their people through more jobs, increased incomes, improved livelihoods, while reducing the environmental impact of their activities. Social entrepreneurs contribute to community development, so that the entire community has improved conditions, not just individuals, through sustainable grassroots methods.
