Review for Girls Gotta Run Foundation Incorporated, Washington, DC, USA
It seems a very simple idea to provide running shoes so that young girls by being on a running team can stay in school and obtain an education. The other choice for many of these young women, girls really, is to be in an arranged marriage, often to a much older man. Over many obstacles; obtaining shoes in Ethiopia, transactions of money, setting up realiable resourses in the country, legal issues of setting up a non profit etc. the dream became a reality.
