Abstract
The year 2020 is deemed to be a transformative year, leading to fundamental changes in the fabric of society. The current Covid-19 pandemic has raised awareness of the urgency of economic reform. It has also brought people closer to each other. People everywhere are experiencing the need for stronger connections, solidarity, and the impetus to give back to society.
Founded on the principle of “giving back” by a successful entrepreneur and CEO of a family run business, Esharelife Foundation is a charity with one mission – to share life in the digital era. Its ultimate goal is to create new, and support existing opportunities, for people living in most disadvantaged areas of the world; to lift themselves out of poverty by empowering them to build a path toward a self-sufficient future.
Esharelife Foundation supports infrastructure and social, cultural, and humanitarian projects, thanks to fundraising activities based around one of the noblest of human activities: the creation and appreciation of art. It supports education programs for children and young people worldwide – for those in developing countries and in developed nations – and works to provide access to education for girls and women who are denied it.
