Womanity in Afghanistan I was impressed with the charity Womanity Foundation, which works globally with local non-profits to accelerate gender equality. Despite the challenges in operating under the Taliban, and with many non-profits stopping work there, they are still working with women in Afghanistan, educating women and girls.

Paz is a social business, working in refugee camps who train refugees in cloud computing, digital marketing and data science and broker their employment with tech firms here in Europe. PAZ is a startup that is run by a really passionate leader Leticia and their main goal is to create job opportunities and connections outside the refugee camps, giving dignity to people but also remuneration so that they can start planning for a future life. Both PAZ and the refugees are paid by the tech companies who employ them which for me is a great example of a social business that is contributing to solutions.
