Since the age of 18, Maria’s vision was to become financially independent so she could do ‘what she wanted, when she wanted, where she wanted and with whom she wanted’. A bit selfish when you think about it...
Although she achieved this to a certain extent, Maria realized at the age of 28 that life was not all about making money.
In search of what living a balanced life meant’, she discovered that the happiest people on earth were those who had a much higher purpose than themselves and they were giving back to society using the gifts they uncovered with in themselves.
Maria also became involved with The Hunger Project which delved into the most hungriest villages in the world, setup an epicenter built by the locals, identified a circle of village catalysts (in most cases women), shifted their mind set, gave them access to micro finance and taught them entrepreneurial skills. Within five years, THP team would leave the village and move on to the next hungry village.
Combining Maria’s passion for entrepreneurship, social networking, corporate social responsibility and technology Linqia was born from a social vision. The platform is set to become the vehicle to simultaneously setup a powerful distribution channel for profit and for making a difference to the lives of millions of people on the planet enabling them access to people, information and opportunities through online communities and groups.
