I have been working at GlobalGiving this summer, and I love being able to interact each day with passionate project leaders all over the world. They have shown me how small initiatives can change the world. The key to solving the world's greatest problems lies in investing in young people to find their strength and grow into entrepreneurs, creatives, activists and leaders. These are my favorites -- be inspired and invest in the future!

Our Women's Academy for Conscious Change is an 18-24 month leadership program and non-profit incubator in Uganda & Rwanda to help grassroots teams of women heal from trauma, step into their potential as self-aware leaders, and design and implement their own "micro-NGOs" to benefit women and girls, addressing issues such as domestic violence, literacy, or lack of safe water access. Our typical participant is a mother of 4-8 children with a primary school education who is a subsistence farmer. progress report
