RecognizeGood Spotlight: A Glimmer of Hope

This week’s RecognizeGood spotlight goes to A Glimmer of Hope; an Austin-based nonprofit whose goal is to help lift women and children out of extreme poverty in rural Ethiopia. Since its beginnings in 2000, the organization has given $60 million. This money goes towards clean water, health care, education, and micro financing projects to villages in Ethiopia. Focused on these areas of development, they provide those living in extreme poverty the best chance of improving their lives. Their website is full of inspiring stories, compelling facts, and beautiful images of the work that Glimmer is doing – go check it out!
