strong nations by building people.”

There is a job
to be done in 2026.

There’s a job to do in 2026.

There are lives to build, problems to solve, challenges to overcome and much needed hope to restore. That’s just the tip of the iceberg.

People are suffering, communities and our rural townships are falling apart, our children are struggling and good, honest people are finding it hard just to keep a roof over their head.

More and more people are collapsing under the weight and stress of constant financial struggle, illness and health issues, the loss of their jobs and main source of income and feeling like they have nowhere to turn and no real way forward.

What’s called for now is empathy, awareness and leadership on the ground. Leadership in our homes, in our neighbourhoods, in our schools, in our workplaces and across our nations.

“Leadership and hope is needed now
– not in high office or in our institutions but in our humble homes, our schools, our communities, our neighbourhoods and the businesses that serve us all. That is the real battle we are all facing on the ground.”

– Joe Duncan

volunteer in 2026

Our new Before5am Global Volunteer Program is going to kick off in 2026. This is a chance for you to teach before5am material, to be a community leader and to help others in your community build their lives on a solid foundation using the Before5am Life Curriculum, Tools and Resources.

An essential
public service.

Before5am was built for the Public Good and will always remain free and accessible to all. We view Before5am as
an essential life support service for people all over the world – that helps people build their lives in a dignified way. Building our world starts with how we build our people and how we support them in their every day lives. At the end of the day the work we do at Before5am must achieve better societal outcomes for humanity.

We build people.
People build strong nations.

At Before5am we only build people. We believe people are the main infrastructure of a nation and invest all of our time, energy and resources into ensuring that we build solid, capable and upright people. This is the only way to secure a human future and to secure the safety of our nations. Before5am provides the vital societal framework and life education required for the general public to be operational, functional and of service to their community and their country, regardless of incentives.

“There is no better way to have your finger on the pulse of a nation than helping people with their lives. Talking to them about the real issues they face and helping them sort out their lives.”
