Social Entrepreneurship - A Slideshare Presentation by Prof Jorge

Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION .Join

This is part of the entrepreneurial revolution. This term was popularized by Bill Drayton of the Ashoka Foundation. In the Phil, one of such fellow is Dr. Tony Lavina of ASG of Ateneo. Other Social Entrepreneurs are Mr. Illac Diaz, Dr V of Aravind Hospital in India (rip+), Dr Mohamad Yunus of Grameen Bank in Bangladesh.

Social Entrepreneurs are not your typical cash burners, or donation solicitors. They use capitalism/entrepreneurship techniques to sustain social services. They are in middle between the profit maximizing business, and non profit ngo (civil society) They do things which neither the government nor business is willing to take for the ills of society.

They create value by creating social value ie solving society's problems.
