What is Social Entrepreneurship?

You have obviously heard of a business and a non-profit organization; The former aims to make the most profit that it possibly can while the latter does not make any but emphasizes to improve the lives of others instead.

Now let’s say someone is deeply concerned about the world’s problems: poverty, inequality, environmental issues etc. and they would like to dedicate their life to solving them. The problem, or rather the misconception that most have is that working for social causes is always at the expense of having a good living. This is where ‘Social Entrepreneurship’ comes in.

“Social entrepreneurship is in the middle where you can live a comfortable life and make an impact in the lives of others too. Not too many people know about this concept so that’s why i would like to intro this concept to others.” – Sorawit Paiboonrattanakorn
