Description

Here at Enactus Lancaster we believe that the power of business can solve the world's toughest social and environmental problems. 

We are a community of students, academics, and business leaders committed to using entrepreneurial action to transform lives and shape a better, more sustainable world.

We live by the philosophy of "feed a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime" and implement it throughout our social enterprises. 

Enactus Lancaster will be running 7 projects this year: Areospark, Refillar, PurifiQ, Girls Get Diagnosed, Silver Years, Cherry, and HOPE.
