Normal people believe only when they see that happens. While for social entrepreneurs, they choose to believe and then see the desired results. Creating systematic changes, driving by social benefits, social entrepreneurs are creating social benefits and making more happiness for people who need help.
Tom’s is one of the companies that are contributing to social improvements. It has sold over 1 million pairs of shoes and given away just as many as part of its one-for-one model.
They found a way to make money, and a way to provide shoes for kids.This is beneficial for them, and for the kids they serve.₁
Toms founder and CEO Blake Mycoskie has found a bright way to give an unique meaning for Tom’s shoes business and dramatically increase the brand value.
Similarly, Save on Meats is in the forefront when it comes to giving to the community; one of their many programs is to provide nutritious, sustainably sourced lunches to women in single room occupancies.² At the same time, Save on meats creates many job opportunities for homeless people.
One of the effects of helping community is to create a harmonious atmosphere. There aren’t homeless people walking around, no violence happening because of jobless and starvation, and no quarrel between customers and store owners because of the bad services. A harmonious community is very fundamental, yet not attainable in every corner of the world.
Business people should realize the happiness created by social responsibility will benefit society and their business as well. Hopefully, giving back to society will become more recognized and preferable. Our world needs more companies and more business getting involved in the development of social entrepreneurship.
