This document proposes a social enterprise called "Turning Pages" that aims to address the lack of access to affordable books for students in remote areas of Bangladesh. It works by collecting unused books from urban university students, storing them, and lending the books to students in rural universities for a small fee. Profits will be reinvested into expanding the business and providing microloans to student entrepreneurs. The founders have experience in business and non-profits. They provide a multi-step plan for operations and financial projections showing profitability in the first three years as the customer base grows. The social returns include increased book availability, quality of education, and opportunities for entrepreneurs.

be re invested into the business.
3. Provide loans to student
entrepreneurs for start-ups
