What is the Social Entrepreneurship Challenge (SEC)?
SEC is a competition consisting of teams of 3 where each team will be issued an amount of $100 that they will use as a start-up cost with the purpose to raise as much funds as they can in a period of 6 weeks while also working to generate social impact in their local communities. The winning team will have a private event with the business leader and author, Robert Murray.

Where do the funds raised go?
All funds raised by the teams will go towards 3 HISG sponsored projects:

• Help women in Indonesia to get out of poverty through providing hairdressing skills training for them to start their own business
• Help fund a solar power business for impoverished families in Kenya
• Help an auto business in Kenya to improve their working conditions and income through the purchase of a diagnostic scan tool.

Are you interested?
Each team must consist of 3 students with at least 1 Beedie student and there is a commitment from June 8th till July 20th. So start forming your teams and “Take a SEC to change the world!”
