"Social entrepreneurs recognize social problems and use entrepreneurial means of creating and managing a venture to make social change.

Social entrepreneur is someone who
makes new ideas and projects happen, or starts a business, that benefits people, then profit. The primary aim is about making a difference.

"Social entrepreneurs identify resources where people only see problems. They view the villagers as the solution, not the passive beneficiary. They begin with the assumption of competence and unleash resources in the communities they're serving."
