In a world that is more affluent than ever, a world that has greater access and affordability of technology, there appears to be hope to alleviate poverty. Yet, worldwide, Gini coefficient is rising and technology appears to divide rather than unite.  The issue is perhaps not with which groups are being marginalised, but rather, how do we find solutions from within the community, so that we can give a hand UP and not just handouts to the marginalised sector. Further, could it be that it is our current system that further marginalise people who are not like us? What can the corporate, public and people sector do, within their spheres of influence, to build a more inclusive and better world?
