Have you ever thought about starting your own business and making the world a better place? As honourable as such a thought is, founding a social start-up must be well thought out. We introduce you to three social organisations and their founders. They tell you what’s behind their startup, what difficulties they had to overcome in founding it and what you can learn from it.<\/h4>\n\n

“Social entrepreneurship means tackling and solving the challenges of our current times in a sustainable way through entrepreneurial approaches, which is why the creation of strong, innovative, sustainable and social start-ups is at the heart of Enactus,” Pauline (25 years old from Mannheim) tells us. Pauline works in Marketing & Content Management at Enactus Germany, based in Cologne. Enactus is the largest student social entrepreneurship platform worldwide with over 70,000 students.<\/p>\n\n

“Through their commitment, students can put their theoretical knowledge into practice and gain initial experience in dealing with problems and solutions. Sustainability for people in difficult life situations, the environment and nature form the cornerstones of idea development. Taking social responsibility, gaining practical experience and at the same time improving the world in small ways – that is project work at Enactus. In Germany, Enactus is represented by student teams at over 30 university locations with approximately 1,800 members. Each of the 120 Enactus projects and start-ups in Germany works with a great deal of passion and commitment to have a sustainable impact, i.e. the effect on people around the globe – this year alone, our teams have positively changed and sustainably improved the lives of around 37,000 people.”<\/p>\n\n
