Three Female Entrepreneurs Who Are Making A Difference In The World

And Pizza fit for a king

12 years ago, at age 23, Kris Hallenga was diagnosed with terminal breast cancer and given just two and a half years to live.

She credits her longevity to excellent medical care, a concoction of new and not-so-new drugs, the love of friends and family, and, most importantly, an abiding passion for life.

Much of that passion over the last decade and more, she has poured into CoppaFeel!, a cancer awareness charity that she set up just three months after her diagnosis. Its mission is simple: to talk boobs.

Josephine Philips knew that having clothes repaired would be better for the environment and would save money but her sewing skills weren’t up to it and locating a seamstress and taking the clothes to her required too much time and effort, which meant she never got round to doing it.

She came up with the idea for the Sojo app.

Users enter their postcode, choose a local seamstress and the service they need. A bike courier picks up the clothes and returns them within five days, ready to wear.

Hattie Hasan, Hasan, the founder of Stopcocks Women Plumbers is also the guiding force behind the not-for-profit project Register of Tradeswomen.

Did you know? Many women suffer at the hands of abusive male partners after a tradesman has completed work in their homes? Using tradeswomen reduces incidences, but we go further. We work with survivors to enable them to train in trades.
