Valen Tan Husistein Founder & Chief Empowerment Officer Social Gifting (Singapore) Inspired by her 3 children, Valen left the private sector and took a Fundraising role in the Social Service Sector. To develop a stronger theoretical foundation of the sector, she decided to pursue a degree in Social Work at the Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS). With the support of SUSS, she started Social Gifting to provide meaningful activities / passive income to people who are unable to leave home due to caregiving duties or physical constraints. linkedin.com/in/valenhusi |
