Social Entrepreneurship Ireland & Vietnam
 |
Social entrepreneurship occurs when an individual or organisation recognises a social problem and uses entrepreneurial skills to create and deliver effective solutions. Essentially, a social entrepreneur has similar skills and characteristics to a commercial entrepreneur. However, rather than focus on profit or financial return, a social entrepreneur looks at the impact their activities can have on society.
At the One Foundation, we believe that social entrepreneurs can be key agents of innovation and positive change. With the right investment and support, their efforts can make a real, lasting and wide reaching difference to the social problems they aim to solve.
