Founding Story
Team
Global Citizen Year
co-Founder
No Poverty, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth.
I have worked on numerous volunteer projects within the various communities where I have lived. When a local food drive for my community was almost eliminated, I spearheaded support to keep the program and assisted with the administration and distribution of food until I left for West Africa.
Jappal is my first social entrepreneurial endeavour. At the age of 20, with the valued help of mentors, teammates, friends, I have taken the dream of a woman to help local girls benefit from the reality of Jappal.
