Social Entrepreneurship focuses on gaining an understanding of how a social problem develops and how an entrepreneur, with the use of his innovative, practical ideas and business strategies, develop solutions to resolve the problem; and motivates him to utilize the available social entrepreneurship resources to overcome the problem to benefit the society as a whole. Social entrepreneurs focus on utilising the various available resources to create a better and progressive society. As social entrepreneurship does not have a concrete definition, groups focused on social entrepreneurship can be categorised into:

Community-based enterprises; are based on societal ventures. The community as a whole utilises the capital to empower itself for example, Krawdwise Africa
Socially conscientious enterprises; these enterprises focus on sustainable development through social gains.
