Reflection by Realthea Andrea Ruiz

I didn’t know what “social entrepreneurship” is when I first heard of it. I didn’t even know that something actually exists. But when I get to learn more about it, it kind of hit me why not create a business that primarily helps those in need, especially the financially challenged individuals or families. Like those businesses of Muhammad Yunus and Michael Young which mainly give a hand to the poor by lending money for them to be able to establish businesses of their own.

It’s inspiring to know that there are persons who do such help for people not just in their community and country, but even across the globe. Then it suddenly crossed my mind if social entrepreneurship just recently began or it started way back. Maybe, this thing is not new, but it only became useful today due to number of unfortunate events happening to people around the world, like unending wars and nonstop corruption which continuously degrade and/or destroy the quality of life and living of most.

It’s hard to help all those who are in need in the whole world. I suggest that ALL businesses that are going to be established should atleast contribute a part of their earnings or products/programs to indigenous people. With this, a lot of funds are raised that could really help change lives of many.

  2. Hi Rea! You're definitely right. It is hard to give a hand to millions of hands who are in need. Hopefully your suggestion will come forth in the near future, or better yet...NOW. However, to make such thing happen, we need to see the oneness and willingness of all businesses which will basically highlight the meaning and value of social entrepreneurship.. So lets continue on promoting social entrepreneurship to the world!:) Keep it up! :)
