ShareAbode: Solving Poverty and Isolation for Single Parents
This
idea from ShareAbode can make a significant difference in the social
and economic lives of single parents
and their children from all backgrounds. They offer a strategic solution
to the challenges that single-parent families currently face: high-cost
housing, increasing living expenses, challenges getting practical
everyday support, and high levels of social isolation.
It
is based on the simple principle that two single parents raising
children together can share resources, rent and living expenses and
achieve more
than one single parent can by going it alone.To know more visit https://readyfundgo.com/project/shareabodefunding/

Carapac's ocean to earth sustainable plastic packaging solution, made from crustacean shells is addressing the issue of plastic pollution.
With only 10% of the world's plastics being recycled each year and soft plastics and packaging being the main culprit, Carapac is offering a solution to the problem.
Sourcing natural material to combat the enormous amounts of plastic waste that ends up in the ocean they are keeping it shrimple. By using existing crustacean shells waste as a source they turn it into a sustainable plastic alternative.
