Making a difference to the lives of those less fortunate

The Social Entrepreneur Special Issue, to be distributed at the second annual South African Social Entrepreneur Awards at the World Economic Forum in May 2006, aims to encourage widespread emergence and growth of southern African social entrepreneurs and create awareness of the concept. Says Futhi Mtoba, chairwoman of Deloitte and patron of Social Entrepreneurship in South Africa, "Although social entrepreneurs are not new to our country, the term describing them is widely misunderstood and they are often confused with charity organisations and corporate social investment projects." The publication will be published and edited by Darryl Egnal of Creative Heart Artworks.
