3 Main Challenges in Philanthropic Work

Solving poverty is a complex issue with no easy solutions. It's a multifaceted problem influenced by variety of factors and addressing poverty requires a comprehensive approach that tackles these underlying issues.

As one of the invited panelist, our CEO discussed the three main challenges in philanthropic work :

1. The simplistic judgement or understanding of what works and what doesn't work for social projects.

2. The counterproductive nature of business entities in philanthropic work.

3. Over emphasise on keeping operational cost low vs achieving social impact and attracting great talents into third sector.

In this symposium that brought together experts, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders to present their findings, we hope our shared perspective allows for a deeper understanding of the subject matter and can lead to new insights, collaborations, and advancements.
