HOPE for All
Social Responsibility
“Education is a powerful medium that has the potential to affect the health, livelihood, security, and culture of the students, their parents and the community. There is no other way but for public and private school institutions to be involved in the bigger context, and to take responsibilities beyond academic development. “The responsibilities may be daunting but the possibilities are endless”
Social responsibility is an ethical ideology or theory that an entity, be it an organization or individual, has an obligation to act to benefit society at large. This responsibility can be passive, by avoiding engaging in socially harmful acts, or active, by performing activities that directly advance social goals.

“Never before have human beings had such far-reaching impacts on one another’s social, political, economic and cultural lives. Never before have they possessed so much knowledge, and so much power to change their environment. And yet, the social institutions which should enable these new challenges to be met are working less and less well. In this context, every one of us must take up his or her responsibilities at both the individual and the collective level. Throughout human history, traditions of wisdom – religious and otherwise – have taught values, to guide human behavior towards a responsible attitude; their basic premise – still relevant today – has been that fundamental change in society is impossible without fundamental change in the individual.
