💙 Giving Tuesday: See the Human Impact of ID Exclusion
Today we are choosing to spotlight the real stories of people whose lives have been shaped by identity exclusion. These lived experiences show why inclusive, fair digital identity systems are urgently needed - and why our work matters.
Here is what identity exclusion sounds like in people’s own words:
“I don’t have a birth certificate or a driver’s licence. All I have is a utility bill - and that won’t get me anywhere.”
“There was a bank I couldn’t get into. I had to give them my ID, my bank cards, my money - and wait outside while they did my banking for me. I felt so exposed.”
“It took me more than a year to open a bank account - all because I couldn’t get the right ID.”
Your donation helps us complete the ID Code of Conduct - research designed to reduce bias in identity systems and ensure that everyone, everywhere, can access the services they need to live, work, and thrive.

Every step and every donation brings us closer to a world where identity is inclusive for all. Together, we can make sure everyone is seen.
