The Accidental Social Entrepreneur by Grant Smith
Grant Smith is not a visionary, he's a problem solver. When confronted with the poverty he witnessed in Africa, he did the only thing he knew how - business. Both humorous and realistic, Smith tells of his successes and failures with diverse projects, challenging us to consider how we might use the resources we have been given to change lives.
Grant Smith is a quantity surveyor who has worked with international construction companies and managed his own consultancy practice in the UK for over thirty years. In 2000, he recognised an opportunity to undertake construction work in Kenya, commercially creating fairy pay and apprenticeship opportunities. Grant is now the CEO of Hand in Hand Group and a director of a Kenyan construction company, with a reputation for clean operations and fair deals, whilst challenging locally accepted business norms and implementing ethical practice to establish fair and safe working environments. He is professionally and personally committed to creating a commercial response to poverty. Grant is the chair of Hand in Hand Foundation and is married to Sue and has three grown-up children.
