Do it your own way and you will go the farthest

Do it your own way and you will go the farthest:

Sandra van Beest-Otten was passionate about making a difference from a young age.

At 21, she addressed the United Nations.

Later, as a strategy consultant, she helped NGOs but felt that something was missing.

This feeling intensified when she became a mother and saw Syrian children on television suffering from the war.

The sense of injustice and the need to do something about it came to the forefront.

This sentiment was also shared by those around her. People wanted to help, but how?

Many people want to contribute more to charity but "simply never get around to it."

Sandra van Beest found this unfortunate and founded The Social Handshake to enable donations directly from salaries, with tax benefits.

This makes it cheaper to give more! You could call it a 'green employee benefit.'
