Driven by my interests in entrepreneurship and passion for making a difference in the often, largely overlooked issue of elderly poverty and loneliness, I founded and lead an Enactus UCL project called CorStitch in the 2021/2022 year.
In a society where age poses as a barrier, elderly poverty rates are rising, and the mental health of the elderly population is impacted due to isolation - CorStitch aims to provide fun and interactive wallet-painting workshops for the elderly, selling these hand-painted wallets with the proceeds donated right back to the elderly organisations we work with.
In our first year, we focused on carefully establishing the foundational basis of our project including our business model and plan to create meaningful impact for our target beneficiaries. I would like to keep the momentum going and pursue the position of a project leader for our second year in really developing the project further with my team!
