UN’s major mission is to safeguard the world peace and develop friendly relations with countries globally on the basis of equal human rights. The United Nations is more focused on the social and political aspect of an issue to help a developing country grow better and make social progress. However, organizations like Arc and social enterprises are more focused on the economic and social development of a nation or community. Due to their different focus on the duties, they both contribute a significant part in making the world better.
For example, the story of Osei-Duro clothing tells me that a social enterprise is able to help the local community in several ways, which are really beneficial for a developing country. Ose-Duro’s action of using hand-dyed fabrics increase the employment opportunities in Ghana and at the same time highlights the company’s value of sustainability in an ethical manner.
In addition, by providing a clothing production training package to their employees, it helps the local people become more educated. Such specific benefit towards the locals cannot be provided by the general organization like UN but only enterprises like the Arc etc. Meanwhile, it not only accelerates clothings producing time but also enhances the quality of their products, the increased and better quality production help the company increase their profits.
