Social Entrepreneurship is the art of creating a socially
responsible business that aims to generate profit, while solving social
and environmental problems.

Social entrepreneurs start and run social enterprises – commercial
businesses that often come with a “triple bottom line” (TBL)
mandate.

The triple bottom line refers to:

People
Profits
Planet


TBL implies that businesses can and ought to be run in a financially,
socially, and environmentally responsible manner.
Origins of Social Entrepreneurship
•Social entrepreneurship started gaining recognition during
the 1980s and 1990s.

•Despite its recent use, social entrepreneurship has been in
existence throughout history. According to Dees (2001, p.1),
the “language of social entrepreneurship may be new, but the
phenomenon is not.”

•The 19th century witnessed social entrepreneurship in anti-
slavery leagues.

•Modern social entrepreneur in Florence, Nightingale, a nurse
devoted her life to service (Drayton, 2006).
Social Enterprises
•Managed by Social entrepreneurs

•Social enterprises are organizations whose mission is to bridge social
opportunity into sustainable reality innovatively, effectively and efficiently.

• They shift the future for the better by innovating social solutions to solve
human development problems whether in poverty, hunger, environment,
human rights, education, political freedom and other important issues.

Difference between
Social Enterprises & NGOs
The main difference between a nonprofit and social enterprise is the
revenue model.


Nonprofits: rely primarily on charitable contributions, public funding
and foundation grants to support their programs and cover their
administrative overhead.

Social enterprise: is designed to operate like a for profit business.
