What is Social Entrepreneurship


Happy new week in a relatively new month. How have you been ladies and gentle men. I know I neither been uploading nor sharing blog posts this year. Well, let me say that will be solved with this year as i will be focusing on business ventures and healthy living write ups on my blog in 2016. These are two of what I am passionate about and I hope you learn a lot as I share my passion wit you this year.

Today, I will be sharing information on social entrepreneurship. So, what is social entrepreneurship?

Social entrepreneurship is said to be attracting growing amounts of talent, money, and attention. But along with its increasing popularity has come less certainty about what exactly a social entrepreneurship is and what social entrepreneurs do. As a result, all sorts of activities are now being called social entrepreneurship

Though there is no specific definition for this field of endeavour, it is widely known as a means to drive social change, and it is that potential payoff, with its lasting, transformational benefit to society, that sets the social entrepreneurship and its practitioners apart.

On this site, social entrepreneurship is defined as the practice of combining innovation, resourcefulness and opportunity to address critical social and environmental challenges.

Social Entrepreneurship matters because it helps generate social value and social change and serves as the activity of identifying novel and unique ways of addressing pressing social need like homelessness, unemployment, waste management. On Wednesday, I will be sharing more information on who a social entrepreneurs is. Kindly read and share amongst loved ones.

This is an excerpt from my radio show, #GreatMindswithKeny, which is aired very Monday from 1pm to 1.30pm Nigerian time. You can tune in to learn more. Have a lovely week ahead. Cheers!
