Social enterprise is the new buzz in East Africa. The region’s social entrepreneurs — who are mainly from the younger generation — have come up with projects that make money while furthering social welfare.
Unreasonable East Africa, an organisation that helps young people to adapt the world to their environment in order to improve it, will from June 25 to July 31, host 24 social entrepreneurs, who run 14 ventures in Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, at the Unreasonable Institute in Kampala.
