Congratulations, to Dr Jane!
Dr Jane has been a constant support to Project I AM since its inception as an idea and has been guiding us throughout and ensuring the voices of refugees are heard across the many forums she speaks in. We are honored to have her as our advisor and her continued passion to use digital tools and innovations for the cause of the vulnerable and forgotten amongst us inspires us to carry on our work with encouragement.
A quote from Dr Jane:Â
“For the first time in human history, we have the technological tools that will enable us to connect the bottom billion unbanked to the global economy, to provide digital identity to stateless people…to direct benefits to women and girls. In this Decade Of Women, we must harness these digital tools and our collective ambition to create a connected and distributed token economy to transform lives of women and girls across the globe and achieve Quantum Impact.” Â
