Social Entrepreneurship - Balancing Cause and Profit

It’s become an old saying that social entrepreneurs often battle with supporting the cause and end up neglecting the business model. Enter Picha Project, a successful social enterprise that plunged into the saturated food-delivery space. They deliver customers traditional meals made by refugees. Currently, they are supporting eight families from Syria, Palestine, Iraq, Myanmar and Afghanistan with a very healthy balance sheet. Kim Lim, the founder joins Enterprise to share how they run their social enterprise.
