Rebekah: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Our vision is to create a future where everyone has health, wealth, and fulfillment in life, regardless of their background, and our mission is to fearlessly transform lives through inspiration and innovation. If you’re a girl or woman, or someone who identifies as non-binary, a person who menstruates or is assigned female at birth, despite making up over 50% of the population you are still underserved, underrepresented, and undersupported throughout your life. Traditional education is falling short when it comes to health, work, and money, societal barriers are systemically deep-rooted, and many public and private institutions and organizations aren’t taking action to make a positive change. And that's where This Independent Life comes in.

Nov 16, 2021 Posted by: Ladderworks Alex Beam,  SDG1,  SDG10,  SDG8,  United Kingdom

Alex: Beam is focused on ending homelessness. We think it’s wrong that people don’t have a place to call home, and we believe that everyone should have the chance to fulfill their potential. Through our website, homeless people can raise money for job training, work tools, travel costs, and rental deposits. Members of the public can donate and send messages of encouragement to boost their confidence. A team of Beam caseworkers then supports each homeless person into a stable job or home.
