What if profit wasn’t just about money but about creating social impact?
In Episode #5 of The FoundHers Podcast, we’re discussing the world of social impact. We’re joined by Beverly Louis, who shares how she balances running an NGO and building a thriving social enterprise, all while staying true to her mission.
Beverly saw what many overlook, that people with disabilities (PWD) aren’t limited by their challenges, they’re limited by opportunities. She realised early on that PWD have the skills to do far more than just art or workshop activities. With the right training, they are just as capable as anyone else. This led her to start initiatives that train and place PWD into companies like PVR, INOX, and Lemon Tree Hotels.
For her, the real "profit" isn’t just money, it's seeing these individuals build independent, fulfilling lives through their own strengths.
In this episode, we break down:
→How to price products for a social enterprise
→What "profit" really means in the social impact world
→How NGOs can collaborate with corporations
→Tips on scaling an NGO
If you're a social entrepreneur, run an NGO, or dream of building a venture that makes a difference then this conversation is packed with insights you don’t want to miss.
Beverly Louis is the co-founder of Mann and Karmann, two ventures focused on disability inclusion. For over 20 years, she’s been training and placing people with disabilities into jobs, and now also runs an apparel and accessories brand powered by the very people she’s helped upskill.
