In the course of looking into these topics I came across the idea of social enterprise,
which I interpreted as: business ventures in developing countries that take into account
social relations and structure while creating jobs and returning all surplus to the
community. Rather than just an earned income strategy for NGOs and non-profits, social
enterprise seemed to be a restructuring of the way in which development practice could
be conceived, in that they take into account the context-specific social and structural
factors that affect business. Moreover, by creating organizations that were profitable, the
surplus can be reinvested entirely, creating jobs and income for people in developing
areas. In this way they might be able to give people the opportunity to take control of
their destiny.
