Why Social Enterprise in Necessary

The United Nations was established after World War II and is “committed to maintaining international peace and security, developing friendly relations among nations and promoting social progress, better living standards and human rights” (un). However, it most cases the UN is involved in the bigger details of the problem and not necessarily with the smaller details. The UN helps out countries by sending disaster relief crews or funds, but it stops there. The UN does not prioritize people’s everyday life in general.

This is where social enterprise or ARC steps in. Social Enterprise is not government run. It aims on helping the lives of individuals in less advanced and less educated countries. The goal is not just to give people in those area money and leave, but it is to feed them with knowledge that will last their lifetime. I know that this is more important than simply giving money or aid reliefs to people. By doing so, people can actually start their own businesses and make a stable income for the years to come. In addition to life long benefits, this also helps people occupy their time and gives the younger generation in that area something worth living for. In my opinion, the ARC program can also encourage youths to plan their future and to develop their countries for the years to come.
