Business and philanthropy are two entities that do not gel together naturally. As goes the common notion, businesspersons engage in charitable works not out of Samaritan feeling always but to create "investments" that save them from the tax scanner or else to build a public persona for goodwill.

Well whatever may be the actual intent, it is concrete action that matters at the end of the day. And let's agree that it is these very businesspersons and entrepreneurs who champion developmental projects at every level of society by extending logistical and financial help.

In a similar view, I recently came across this interesting community of businessman who are doing great work in ushering a community based livelihoods at an international scale.
