Social enterprises are businesses that work to solve social problems or improve their communities. They generate profits through selling goods and services, and reinvest profits back into the business or community. The story describes an ex-convict who started a food and beverage business to help other ex-convicts reintegrate into society by employing them. However, his first attempt failed because too many ex-convict employees were influenced back into criminal behavior. While starting a social enterprise can be difficult without much capital, the story credits Benny's success not just to God's grace but also his passion and heart for helping ex-convicts stay on the right path.
