Since 1948 the Human Rights Day is observed on December 10th. Besides reaffirming its importance, we would like to highlight that human rights are the heart of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) reflected in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Once the SDGs offers critical opportunities to further advance the accomplishment of human rights for all people, without discrimination, we present how the scaleups companies in this second batch are collaborating to achieve the SGDs.
Check the 7 goals scaleups are achieving:
No Poverty
Facetrom
There is a high correlation between global statistics on the unbanked and poverty. For instance, 75% of all unbanked people are poor. For various reasons, 1.7 billion people around the world do not have a bank account. Facetrom's goal is to help the world and the unbanked people. By using Facetrom, “unbanked people can get services without sharing any personal data such as ID number, phone number, name and any other detail people are sharing today with the companies. With Facetrom you’ll keep your users 100% anonymous, 100% private and with no discrimination”, says Ido Peleg, Facetrom founder and CEO.
