” If  the United Nations was fully funded why would we need the Arc or social enterprise” Do not mistaken the Arc initiative with a charity. In fact, organizations like the United Nations and the Arc both have a unique way of approaching the alarming problems in developing countries and achieve very different results. In time of catastrophes, and natural disasters, the aid provided by the United Nations and other charitable organizations, provide a tremendous amount of help to those in unfortunate conditions. The Arc tends to achieve something of a more long-term result. By nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit and promoting self-sustainability through hands-on programs, individuals in developing countries get the chance to pursue their goals of becoming young entrepreneurs. These opportunities are often not widely available to people in regions that poverty and famine are incredibly common issues. By promoting workshops, programs and internships for those interested, people now have a opening to become independent from charitable donations by becoming self-sustainable.
