ARCHITECTS OF SUSTAINABLE TOMORROW

1GEN is a social innovation startup committed to making Global Goals a reality by year 2030. We create meaningful digital solutions for the most pressing issues facing the world, such as climate change emergency, poverty, hunger, lack of access to basic healthcare & education, forced displacement of masses, etc... but there is an even biggest obstacle - hopelessness.

​
 

1GEN's journey began in early 2018 with a simple concept of using digital tools to shape meaningful impact stories that connect, bind, engage, and most importantly inspire. Our attempt is to inspire action for change, amplify the marginalized voices, and knit a community of minds to bring about a positive shift in the world. 

​
 

In partnership with several mission-driven NGOs, and social enterprises, we strive to create and share stories of hope that drive social change, everyday. We understand, achieving SDGs by 2030 is a long journey. Our purpose is to be the digital enabler in solving planet's most pressing issues in '1GENeration'.
