Social entrepreneurship changes lives | Roxana Damaschin | TEDxEroilor

800 million people will need access to decent work in the next five years and social enterprises can have a major impact on this. The speech is a call for everyone who wants to get involved in social entrepreneurship and to contribute in changing someone’s life.

She responds for the way social enterprises in which NESst invests are supported and for measuring their performance, related to the area of social impact (work places for disadvantaged individuals) and financial results. Being an economist, she received a master’s degree in social sciences and, in 2012, she became an Eisenhower Fellow for Romania.
