If  the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise?

There is a very well known quote that says “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” There are many organizations that “raise money” to improve terrible living standards in third world countries temporarily but doesn’t solve the problem in the long run. Even if the United Nations raise a lot of money for these countries to escape their poverty, the people in these countries will most likely not have the knowledge to maximize the use of the money. That is why Arc Initiative and Social Enterprises are crucial to helping the hard-working entrepreneurs of these countries to have the knowledge to start their business off in the right way. For example, Fitih Tesfaye was operating a restaurant in a highly competitive market before she went to Sauder’s Arc Initiative for guidance. After a successful workshop, she developed the skills, knowledge and strategies to start a highly successful Sweets business. The knowledge she gained from Arc Initiative can take her business far further than any monetary donations ever could and that is why these organizations are needed even if United Nations can fully fund these countries in need.
