We happily and cautiously went to Sierra Leone when we were invited, as it was considered the poorest country on earth with the world’s worst maternal mortality rates. We went to the poorest corner of the country. This was exactly the kind of place we wanted to work.
Centuries of colonialism, exploitation, poverty, and war, and the lack of education, infrastructure, and opportunity combine to effectively eliminate options for millions of women.
We are passionate about our values. We measure how well we honor our values by the decisions we make and how we act.
