WHO WE ARE
On a mission to collect and document 10,000 stories demonstrating the goodness of humanity. Basically, stories of impact focused on the wisdom that can be drawn from the human experience and showing the breadth of positive action around the world at all levels of society.
The aim is to inspire hope and positive action showing that impact can stem from anyone, anywhere no matter who they are and that it isn’t confined to humanitarian or social impact. It’s also to balance out skeptical, negative and dark narratives to ignite hope and motivation.
Building a platform that will highlight people driving impact who are not visible, be a voice for the voiceless, and show ordinary people doing extraordinary things that are grounded in universal human values of love, tolerance and peace.
