People around the world are suffering. People are having to face hardship, people are doing it tough and it is a global epidemic - that needs to be addressed now. Every day Before5am has their boots on the ground deploying life tools and solving the very real and most pressing problems that people face in their daily lives. Our mission at Before5am is simple: save lives, get people back on track, support them in any way we can and build strong households, communities, workplaces and nations.
These are the 4 critical parts that make up the Global Challenge that Before5am has identified from over 12 years of service on the ground and in numerous countries. We are actively working to build solutions, systems and infrastructure to solve these Global Issues - that all people face - once and for all.
Part #1 - Real people are suffering. Real people are doing it tough.
The reality is - most people, families and communities in every country in the world are facing hardship, collapsing under the weight of financial pressure and are simply unable to meet the basic daily requirements of surviving and just being alive - even more so in our developed nations. People are losing hope and falling by the way side as housing becomes unobtainable, finding decent and regular work becomes scarce, healthcare becomes unaffordable, good people are losing their jobs and being made redundant and have no real way forward or sense of direction. The situation is real and urgent as the silent majority of our world suffers quietly and struggles to find solutions to their very real problems. We need to find effective and practical ways to build people and communities back up above and beyond - government support, financial incentive, earned income, jobs, qualifications or formal education - because in most cases those options are unavailable to the average person.
Part #2 - People are ill-equipped. Life skills are required today. Not tomorrow.
The every day person is sadly unskilled and ill-equipped to deal with the hardships and challenges of modern life - this is becoming more obvious each day as society continues to breakdown and many people are becoming displaced. The fundamental human and life skills that all people require are simply missing in society and were never taught in any formal capacity or official way. Basic and urgent life education is required on the ground - across all countries, to equip every day people with tools, resources and support to aid them in building their lives in a dignified way even more so in uncertain and tough times. The basic standards of human existence and our way of living have to be raised from where we are today - if we plan on building a functional, operational and human focused society.
Part #3 - Life Systems have to be re-built from the ground up to support human life.
Our life systems no longer support human life, human potential, human ideals and our society. These systems are causing a lot of strain on every day people and all societal, economic and governmental systems are no longer operational or functional in any real way that benefits man kind. The systemic challenges that people are facing are becoming more and more obvious each day and in many cases people are coming up against roadblocks & challenges which simply can not be overcome due to flaws in our system and how we choose to operate the vital life systems across our nations and institutions. In many cases the suffering, the despair and the challenges people are facing is not their direct fault or a burden they should carry - simply because our systems are ill-equipped to actually help people to build their lives and become contributing members of society on their own back.
Part #4 - Societal and Life Education Systems are simply not in place.
The general population was not provided with the relevant civilian grade life education to be able to handle life and participate in a workable society. This oversight has cost trillions of dollars over the last 40 years and has impacted billions of lives negatively. The quality and standard of lives has dropped immensely not in economic or technological terms, but rather in terms of virtue, principle, conduct, communication ability, human decency, human skills and human traits. This considerable oversight in our world is the real reason why people are suffering, unable to function and our society is breaking down because the common thread that unites us all has been tampered with or has been fundamentally broken making people feel disjointed and disconnected from themselves and those around them.
At Before5am we have been working on the ground for over a decade to solve the most critical challenges of our time and the very real problems that people deal with in their every day lives. It is simply not good enough to keep talking about problems, at Before5am we make it our responsibility and take it upon ourselves to actively find solutions to tackle the very real and every day problems that people face and ease the suffering of all people.
Help people where they are today.
Our solution is straight forward and has worked for over a decade - re-education of the fundamentals that make up a human's life and teaching essential life skills to reduce the burden people are feeling today and help them combat the challenges they face in their lives. Before5am's first mission is to help people today - where they are right now, with what they have in from of them and the resources they have access to. Before5am provides free and accessible life tools, life support, daily lessons, life operating systems to help people control the variables they can control and make changes in their life where they are right now - regardless of situation or circumstances. Our solution is to always to get to people first, build hope, build capability, build a solid plan, improve current living situations and raise standards quickly and without fuss or commotion. We focus on getting the job done, by building one person at a time and giving them the confidence and courage to lead themselves and lead those around them, using the Before5am Life Framework.
Help people tomorrow and build the future.
The challenges we face are systemic and large scale and require heavy re-building of critical infrastructure. As much work as we can do on the ground to deploy essential life services to every day people and to teach vital life and societal skills - those solutions only go so far to solving the problem. At the core of what we have been building for well over a decade is large scale life systems and models to re-skill humanity, move humanity forward and to solve major issues which people all over the world face. Our learning on the ground puts us in a unique position to provide educational solutions for society - to re-build our educational infrastructure across the board and to build an ecosystem which is human focused rather than technologically or financially focused. Our commitment to people and our future is to make sure we build a society of great human values, raise human spirit and to ensure we protect the sanctity of what it means to be human. That is what we fight for every day at Before5am and our two tiered solution is the best way to solve problems on the ground today and build tomorrow the right way.
At Before5am we develop Life Tools to support people's lives around the world. Many Families, Communities and Businesses use our Life Tools to set themselves up for the day ahead, to manage their lives and plan for the future.
Before5am provides essential life support to people all over the world, to help them stay on track, protect themselves, provide stability for their household and contribute to society in a meaningful and valuable way.
Before5am builds Life Systems and Frameworks that can be used by all people - regardless of race, religion or circumstances. Life Operating Systems are the backbone of how we will build a workable society and future for humankind.
Every day at the Before5am Organisation we take it upon ourselves to actively solve the biggest challenges in our nation and across the world — to improve the quality of life for all people, ease the suffering and despair many people are dealing with and create solutions which are useable and workable today — when it matters most.
