“The scholars that we fund are all female STEM students... They are the daughters of migrant workers and farmers. Their [family] household income is between $3,000 and $6,000 annually.”
“[One World] leads to a community of practice, we can actually learn from each other. It helps us understand different dynamics that come with operating [an organization] — especially for the African organizations, it allows us to share knowledge amongst ourselves.”
Courtney Chambers, One World Board of Directors; August Pabst, One World CEO; Solomon King, Fundi Bots Founders & Executive Director; Yin Yin, QZ Memorial Scholarship Founder; Nirav Patel, One World Board Member
Please note that due to internet challenges in Uganda, Solomon King turned off his video halfway through the event to preserve bandwidth and his ability to participate.
We heard directly from grassroots leaders about the challenges their organizations have had to overcome, some of their more surprising and meaningful results, and how, in addition to One World's financial support, One World has created a "community of practice" to help grassroots organizations share and learn from each other.
