Global Grassroots, Gretchen Wallace

Gretchen Wallace began her Global Grassroots foundation to support women and girls in war torn countries. What she found is, the women in these communities know what they need and they know how to do it.  They come up with astoundingly creative solutions none of us would ever think of.  But they don't have the resources to do anything.  Global Grassroots teaches the women business skills, leadership skills, whatever else they need to learn. They give them all the start-up money and other needs. These communities become self-sustaining. They have increased the number of girl graduation high school from 17% to over 80%, they have had an effect on sexual violence, and much more.
