Abstract: Abstract Social entrepreneurship is a global phenomenon that impacts the lives of citizens through innovative approaches to solving social problems. It combines the passion of a social mission with businesslike discipline. Social entrepreneurship is being heralded as a novel strategy to solve social problems, create employment opportunities, ensure sustainable development, and alleviate poverty. It is a transformation in approaching challenges, which enables citizens to initiate and take responsibility rather than only demanding change. The social, economic, and governance challenges prevalent in a country become rich opportunities for a socially entrepreneurial mindset to initiate change and generate social impact.
