I have spent my whole career working with organizations committed to improving the conditions of people who are vulnerable, working with them to help them realize their true potential. TechnoServe has a strong track record of providing the knowledge and skills that – coupled with people’s own commitment to success – can set them on a path that benefits themselves, their families and their entire community.”
