Purpose: To explore innovative enabler mechanisms for women's empowerment in a social enterprise and how they promote local development in a Zapotec indigenous community, the third largest ethnic group in Mexico. Originality/gap/relevance/implications: This paper contributes to the extension of social entrepreneurship literature from a gender perspective, exploring the mechanisms that allow women to succeed in highly marginalized indigenous communities. Key methodological aspects: This paper follows a case study methodology, inductive approach and qualitative methods mainly through 70 in-depth interviews. Summary of key results: Although the male-dominated culture slows down the democratic and political empowerment of women in the community, mechanisms such as job stability, low-interest microcredits and gender-equality policies in the organization have triggered economic empowerment.

This one for one concept has transformed beyond one for one with profound value dimensions. This paper commences that, in fact, the one for one model is heightened via varying value combination design. This escalating social value of given products is stimulated by the content combination of value pairs, transforming consumer purchases into benefactors. Also noted will be future expectations for the one for one concept since the dawn of burgeoning social entrepreneurships.

“…In general, researchers consider social entrepreneurs as important agents of change in communities [12][13][14]. In other words, not only is a social entrepreneur an individual who has a business attitude in solving social problems [15] but also an individual who seeks innovative ways to evaluate social problems and creates social values by finding solutions to those problems [12,[16][17][18][19].…”
