Social Enterprise

PPC Bank–Phnom Penh

Social enterprises are businesses or commercial endeavors that differ from regular businesses in that the goal of the enterprise is not just to make money for the stockholders but to provide social assistance to some group like people with disabilities. In Phnom Penh the PPC Bank five years ago set up a social enterprise called Socials Coffee, a coffee shop right in their bank building, and they recruited, trained, and hired deaf people as employees.

Yesterday Socials Coffee celebrated their 5th anniversary which a fun gathering at the bank. Here one of the bank executives speaks about their vision and how it has worked.
Many of the deaf community came for the celebration.
It was impressive to see how many people came for the anniversary.
