Ashoka, a social entrepreneurship, was established in 2005 and it has nearly three thousand social entrepreneurs who work towards improving the conditions of depraved economic states. Not only does this organization help those in need, but it also helps social entrepreneurs to practice their entrepreneurship and network.

Recently, Ashoka took the challenge to train Europeans to instill entrepreneur skills that will help them acquire a job or build their own business even in an idle economy. With a grant supported by another foundation called Accenture, Ashoka helped 10,000 people improve their employability prospects. Accenture’s grant would also help to create 7,200 jobs.

Social Entrepreneurship really helps to create a difference in the world. I find it incredible how so many people are willing to contribute their skills to help others in depraved states. They want to help support a healthy living standard by making economies thrive and sustain themselves. With assistance from social entrepreneurs, someone who has the potential to succeed can go from barely supporting himself to running a successful business. Social Entrepreneurship offers something beyond temporary solution; it offers effective and permanent solutions. People are able to utilize entrepreneurship to alter their economic situation for long-term benefit.
