Creating social change through sustainable business models

The Social Entrepreneurship methodology has matured a long way over the years. For example, micro finance, has established itself as a highly successful way to generate self sustainability through enterprise in many disadvantaged countries and communities throughout the world. Come and listen to how the School of Social Entrepreneurship has begun to create an impact on the ground.

Social Entrepreneurship ? creating social change through sustainable business models

As the SE sector matures much of the wisdom of this success is being captured and organised in ways to assist others to leverage this and avoid ?reinventing the wheel? each time.
