I believe the core value of the Arc or social enterprise should be taken in consideration when answering the question why we would need them if the United Nations was fully funded. Bill Drayton, Ashoka once said “Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or
teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.” Donations from non-profits and the UN cannot make a lasting effect in the poor and backward countries, as Arielle mentioned in the article, while practical and modern business skills offered by the Arc or social enterprise can add value to people’s daily life and create economic profit.

In addition, I think the Arc or social enterprise are offering win-win solutions while what the UN do is a unidirectional aid. By participating the Arc or social enterprise, the involvers are either making profits or accumulating experiences related to their careers. Furthermore, the relationship between the students/ social entrepreneurs and the people who receive help with their businesses isn’t an unequal benefactor-dependent relationship. The relationship is reciprocal because they are creating shared values and assuming joint responsibility.

Therefore, the role that the Arc and social enterprise play is irreplaceable and significant.
