In a recently read blog,which introduced how a water company named Sarvajal supplies water in India.Maybe it’s hard to imagine what our life would be without clean water,but the truth is:many people in the world are still in short of basic life necessaries like clean food & water or electricity.And that’s what social entrepreneurs are aiming to diminish with their impacts.
Social entrepreneurship can improve people’s life quality.For example,Sarvajal built first filtration plant in Delhi,that means people around Delhi can finally access to cleaner water and thus stay away from diseases caused by dirty water.
What’s more,social entrepreneurship can impact people mentally.By saying this,I mean social entrepreneurship can offer chances of education.Like what we’ve seen in class,Sauder launched an entrepreneurship program to hold workshops and other activities to help people who don’t have the chance learning business concepts and applying them into practice.
