Review for These Numbers Have Faces, Inc., Portland, OR, USA
I was first introduced to TNHF by the Executive Director, Justin, in 2006. We met at a coffee shop so he could share his story about meeting the JL Zwane Football Team, Coach Eric and Anda. He wanted to continue his relationship with the team, felt called to do more, and formed a sole proprietorship business in order to do so. Little did he know that soon, after many a meeting in his attic, this little sole proprietorship would be the incredible nonprofit it is today. I believe in TNHF and am honored to be associated with this organization not only because of their responsible community-based development model and understanding that investing in girls is a key solution to addressing poverty from the bottom up, but because of the passionate dedicated leadership behind the scenes. Justin, his wife Trisha, the very few staff members, and the countless volunteers work at TNHF because they believe in the power of education, the dignity of all human beings, and they just love their friends in South Africa.

In South Africa I saw true friendship between TNHF and the students/staff. Students are graduating, chosen to be Ambassadors at the World Cup, more students are going to college, none have contracted HIV, women are at the forefront. Results in action!
What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
working with everyone at TNHF, meeting and getting to know the students and staff in South Africa, and seeing TNHF grow and develop into the organization it is today. I love the women's empowerment campaign!
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
dedicated,resourceful, brilliant, hilarious, and amazingly creative.
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
shut down its US operations and be led and directed completely by South African nationals; or it could replicate its model into other countries.
