Professional Bio
Biography
Zara Torre is a dentist, law and international relations graduate with a Masters in Public Health and a particular interest in health economics addressing social disadvantage.
She was awarded a scholarship for studies in Social impact from the UNSW, and for non-profit leadership by the Australian Institute of Management, as well as invited to be one of McKinsey's Young Leaders for her contributions to the non-profit sector in Australia.
She has worked for years organising large scale public health interventions both locally and internationally, and has recently founded a social enterprise tech start up The Difference.
The app launched recently with the goal of using micro-donations to create a channel for carefully vetted charities addressing the UN's sustainable development goals in five key areas: Health, Education, Poverty, Women and Children and the Environment.
The Difference has the potential to disrupt the charitable/philanthropic sector by allowing users to round up their everyday purchases through the app, to causes locally and internationally.
In a world of 3 trillion card transactions, this has the power to channel significant financial resources to on the ground social projects, and utilise technology to be at the forefront of contactless donating.
