5 Ways Social Entrepreneurship Can Change the World

We, as humans, have the capacity to show compassion towards one another. We are can and must lift each other up as we travel the world together. As they often say, giving a helping hand is free therapy. It heals the soul of the beneficiary and the sender. But did you know that there are other entities that benefit from volunteer opportunities and initiatives? When you get to see the bigger picture, you will realize that helping one another is the change we need to propagate in this world. In this article, we will share with you the lesser-known effects of compassion on the world. A good deed can inspire change to the following:

The Receiver

This world is full of grief and suffering so we have to be kinder to one another. When you extend your hand to help a fellow, you are lifting him/her from the quicksand that is ever-present along the way. For instance, sharing your meal with a less fortunate classmate might be a simple act, but to that classmate of yours, it could mean a lot. Giving can also be contagious. Who knows what can happen when you ignite the flames of compassion in someone’s heart? 

The Giver

You as a giver can also benefit from the act. We heard a wise man said, “Giving may empty your pocket but fill your heart” and that is so much better than money. It is proven that participating in volunteer opportunities has a positive impact on one’s health. It can bring a positive disposition to us and can help us see the world in new lights.

The Onlookers

As we mentioned earlier, a good deed is contagious. This world has been plagued with lots of miseries and treacheries that people find it difficult to believe that something positive may happen. Thus, when people witness an act of kindness, their belief in humanity is reignited. Foundations in Singapore are hoping for this chain of good deeds to continue and bind every nation together.

The Nation

When you join the initiatives of different foundations, you are indirectly helping the nation where your beneficiary belongs. For one, a feeding program for a certain community can help eradicate hunger and malnutrition. In a larger sense, the citizens you helped may turn out to be the solution their community needs. Who knows if one of them will become the right head of their state in the future?

The Future Generations

Helping the present can help us save the future in more ways than one. If you extend your hands to the needy today, you’ll give them the opportunity to change the lives of their children and grandchildren. Another thing is that showing the future generations that we did not fail them will lead them to the right path. Social entrepreneurship, for example, can help not only the youth but the generation next to them. 

These are just some of the benefits you are imparting to the world whenever you are offering your strength, time, and effort in volunteer opportunities. Join the foundations that further the change you wish to see in the world and be a volunteer today!
