It’s been an exciting month for the social enterprise team at WE CARE Solar. We’re finalists in the Global Social Venture Competition, the largest and oldest student-led business plan competition that supports the creation of businesses that bring about positive social change in a sustainable manner. Out of more than 500 entrants, WE CARE Solar was selected as one of 16 finalists for its social impact!
