Summary::
I came away from this interview wanting to be instant friends with Becky, as her passion for helping others is undeniable. She is a founder of The Adventure Project, a non-profit that’s working to see the end of poverty in our lifetime. Prior to The Adventure Project, Becky spent three years helping to launch Charity: Water, an organization bringing drinking water to people in developing countries.
It’s so beautiful when people find ways to work towards their passion, even when it means having to raise a lot of money and working with people on the other side of the world, but the Adventure Project is doing just that and taking huge strides at eradicating poverty.
The best part is, YOU can be involved!
On this episode, Becky discusses the advances her company is making to empower people living in extreme poverty and shows simple ways that you can get involved.
“We don’t give handouts. Instead, we support comprehensive job training so people can earn a living and provide lifesaving services to their communities. We do it because it’s empowering. And it is the fastest way to end extreme poverty in our lifetime.”
