Global Grassroots should serve as an example of how development work should be done. Their programs teach and inspire all of us that have worked in the development field. Thanks for your great work.

I have been tracking GG since it's beginning. It is an amazing organization that helps people in the right way. It teaches Women and Men to be self sufficient and how they can help themselves. They gain necessary skills to help entire communities. Gretchen does this work in a unique way. She is trying to work herself out of a job instead of continuing to hand out aid and make populations aid dependent. She is most definitely part of the solution.
