Djordje: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! SignAvatar is revolutionizing content in sign language, by turning speech into sign language using artificial intelligence. We know that there are 70 million sign language users out there who deserve content in their native language, and we aim to help deaf communities, raise awareness of them, and help them find new jobs.

Rosie: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! There are many challenges in a given community or when we identify a primary need within a community. I want to explain this a little bit more. Many issues are a combination and intersection of other issues. For example, gender equality is also a poverty, race, quality education, health, and well-being issue. All of the SDGs are connected, and our interventions address intersectionality. A sample project below can explain my point deeply. I was approached by a hyper-local ngo called Pace-In in Isiolo County, Kenya, to help stop and reduce female genital mutilation. This specific intervention for this community first addressed poverty and partnerships to reduce female genital mutilation within a community.
