According to Candid Learning, social enterprise, also known as social entrepreneurship, broadly encompasses ventures of non-profits, civic-minded individuals, and for-profit businesses that can yield both financial and social returns.

Ksan Society is a non-profit organization that operates on the principle that women and men are equal and believes that the cycle of violence can be broken. The Society provides public education, social programs, safe shelter, food, and essentials to women and their children fleeing abuse, and to women, men, and families who are homeless or otherwise disadvantaged. Thus, the Society provides a wide range of programs and services to the community – each being open and available to all in need. (Ksan Society, 2022)

This organization is very beneficial for everyone. We are very fortunate to have this organization in the City of Terrace because not all provinces have this kind of program as Ksan Society offers. For me, this organization understands every challenge or situation of the people in our city, and they want to do something for us to have a better life. They want to be our support in the time that we need someone. Indeed, this organization cares about the community as a whole. Moreover, what I like about this organization is its mission to be committed to responding to community needs as they empower, assist, and support people experiencing gender violence, violence, poverty, homelessness, and other forms of oppression or marginalization. Thus, the Ksan Society believes in the inherent value of every human being.
