The empathy and compassion in each of us
I think that hope is in each one of us. We have survived as humanity through care and compassion and every single one of us has the capacity for empathy and compassion. Our social nature has given us an incredible survival advantage and we can see the evidence of compassion in our physiology, our biochemistry, our genomics and everywhere else that you look. This is so hopeful.

A young women in Sierra Leone
My story is about a young women who grew up in an isolated village with no running water or power in Sierra Leone. She went on one of our programmes and started engaging her village in conversations around early age marriage which was a big issue. Before long 70 or 80 people attended and then other local villages opened up with further conversations around the issue. We have been walking alongside her in her ambition to go to University and eventually become a Lawyer.
