Description

Beyond Altruism is a bold, necessary manifesto for a new kind of change-maker – one who is disillusioned by the traditional charity model and determined to build meaningful, measurable impact without compromising dignity, purpose, or sustainability.

In an era where public trust in charities is eroding and the line between doing good and doing business is increasingly blurred, Beyond Altruism offers a clear alternative: a purpose-first economy where social entrepreneurship thrives not on pity or paternalism, but on partnerships, innovation, and accountability.

Drawing from real-world examples, frontline experience, and emerging trends, this book equips social entrepreneurs, community leaders, and impact-driven thinkers with a roadmap to design solutions that center dignity, redistribute power, and challenge the sacred cows of the charity world. From rethinking growth and funding, to building teams that value both courage and care, Beyond Altruism explores what it really takes to create lasting change in complex, interconnected systems.

This is not a call to abandon charity, it’s a call to evolve it. For anyone ready to lead with empathy, act with strategy, and disrupt the status quo, Beyond Altruism is your guide to building what comes next.
