Social enterprises are organizations which apply market-based strategies to achieve a social purpose. These include both non-profit organizations that use business models to pursue their mission and for-profit organizations whose primary purposes are social. Increasingly academic scholars, policy makers, and business people are turning to social entrepreneurship to help solve the problems associated with delivery of social services.

Xavor Social Development Consulting team aims to explore and promote the emerging patterns, models, and ideas around social entrepreneurship. We look at the underpinning principles of effective social change and intervention in a local setting and explore innovative approaches to address global social problems leveraging that learning.

Our focus in this area includes:

• Raising the profile and awareness of the social enterprise sector and highlighting its potential for contribution to the developing economies
• Promoting social enterprise as an option for those seeking to initiate business, develop new projects, or explore options to generate income for voluntary organizations
• Providing a forum for exploring the synergies between for-profit, non-profit, and public sector approaches to address critical social issues
• Raising awareness of the diverse range of social enterprise business models
• Improving the understanding of the market and its range of needs
• Improving the sustainability and growth of the social enterprise sector in developing economies like Pakistan
