Social Enterprise
A social enterprise is a business with specific social objectives such as affordable housing or job creation in disenfranchised markets. Social enterprises seek to maximize profits by maximizing benefits to society and the environment.
Profits are primarily used to fund social programs or create new social systems and opportunities that benefit the masses.
Social enterprise views communities in need, not only as beneficiaries of economic support, but as the very people that should be part of any solution that can help improve their lives
or immediate circumstances .
In other words, when given the opportunity to increase their quality of life themselves, most people take advantage of it.
Every business is empowered by the number of customers they can serve. The more value they can bring to the customer, the more customers they generate.
As a social enterprise business model, the people we serve have
a double incentive. Creating their own pathway to better circumstances and lighting a pathway for others to follow.
