Finance Forward Academy
Financial education is still not taught on a large scale, even if it is of fundamental importance. Schools don't teach it. Universities don't teach it. The job won't teach it either. One's own financial knowledge depends heavily on influences from family and friends, and / or the resources that can be found online. But do family members and friends really know everything? Are online resources on that topic not mainly coming from the US? These are not applicable here in Europe! Does a beginner truly know how to distinguish between what is useful information and misinformation or even fake or a scheme? From what I saw in my courses, nope.

The Netherlands is facing a severe housing crisis, with an increasing number of people struggling to find affordable and adequate housing. The government's projected timeline for addressing this crisis extends until 2040, but the urgency of the situation demands immediate action to alleviate the hardships faced by individuals and families in need of housing solutions.
Samaritance
Time is the most valuable resource each of us has in life, yet one misstep can put this time, and its quality, in jeopardy. Traffic accidents cause 20 to 50 million people annually, to face this grim reality, making it the leading cause of death for children and young adults aged 5-29 (source: WHO, 2023). In these accidents, the difference between life or death is decided by mere seconds, but many of those crucial seconds are lost due to inefficiencies in the call for and subsequent help. Individuals could find themselves injured in isolation, bystanders may hesitate to act, or critical information needed for aid might be unavailable.

The problem we are facing is multi-faceted: many products on the market today are priced without consideration for the true cost of production and consumption. This leads to a variety of issues, including environmental degradation, exploitation of resources and labor, and unsustainable business practices in the long term.
Match Point
International students who aspire to participate in (especially collective) sports collectively often face challenges due to a lack of connections and networks within the local sports community. This limitation inhibits their ability to join teams or find opportunities for organized sports activities.
OptiWelfare
Across the globe, societies face the challenge of inefficient resource allocation, leading to disparities in access to essential services, economic opportunities, and overall well-being. This challenge stems from various factors such as limited data-driven decision-making, lack of transparency, and inadequate consideration of socio-economic dynamics.

The escalating issue of food waste in Central Asia, particularly in Kyrgyzstan, where almost 40% of food is discarded annually, presents both a challenge and an opportunity. As this waste accumulates, it not only strains the environment but also represents lost resources that could be repurposed. To address this, we propose a sustainable solution that aligns with the region's growing demand for affordable pet food: converting food waste into healthy cat food.
Kingdom
Many Christians feel disconnected from other cultures and limited in expressing their creativity within traditional church settings. There's a lack of inclusive spaces where Christians can come together with people from diverse backgrounds. Despite the desire to share their arts and entertainment, there's often no platform within churches to do so. This leads to a perception that being Christian is solely about attending church services.
