The above internet address is an illustration of what a Social entrepreneur is.
Some of the most important ideas are: Find out what works and then share ideas!
Social change happens when Belief meets energy but needs blueprints.
Grameen Bank: Microcredit for poor people to start their own businesses: 42 million people worldwide.
Palmari Rosa Project: Electricity in Brazil's Rural Areas: Solar Panels+ electric fences
$15 a month(1 billion people can afford this)
Ideas need champions: Marketing and Organization are key!!
Be a Social Entrepreuneur: See vision, mobilize team, drive through adversity, think business and social mission, market and persuade people to join you!
Child Line: service provider, children as para-paramedics,adopted by India as national franchise, drives government protection policy, data tracks regional problems and patterns.
Use what is dominant in a culture to change it and to make it better: listen, share credit, think big, start small, keep going, get energy from "No"
Anyone can be a Social Entrepreneur. Find a need and fill it. Get educated. Make things work better. Get friends and relatives to help you help them and all their friends and relatives! Be innovative!
