In 2006, fresh from graduate school with degrees in Business and Geotechnical Engineering, Avery Bang couldn’t wait to go out and save the world. Her business and engineering knowledge combined with her passion for social justice had her chomping at the bit, searching for a problem she could solve. After fifteen years serving as CEO of Bridges to Prosperity, Avery now serves as a Principal at the highly-respected Mulago Foundation, helping social entrepreneurs solve the world's most intractable problems.
In this episode, we discuss:
• How Mulago Foundation supports irrepressible leaders working to solve local problems that if scaled can have global impacts.
• Avery’s lessons learned in her fifteen years as CEO of Bridges to Prosperity
• Bridges’ efforts to craft a world where isolation does not create poverty.
• How '“voluntourism” often takes more than it gives.
• The critical role Mulago’s philanthropy plays in supporting big ideas that change lives.
• The many ways supporting social entrepreneurship builds a better world.
• The heartwarming and visionary story of two brothers and a good friend at the core of the Mulago Foundation.
