Gill Wallace Hope has focused for 17 years on how to empower the poorest of the poor to improve their 'quality of life' and how to invest in grass roots communities to have the greatest economic impact and sustainability on a large scale. Aid and Trade programs have saved lives and emerged sectors however; the economic disparity between the wealthiest and the poorest has never been greater.
The 7 wealthiest people in the world have more than the bottom 1 billion.
The G20 nations generate 85% of global GNP yet the other 172 nations generate only 15% of the world's wealth.
1 billion people are excluded from participating in the global economy.
Gill Wallace Hope has listened to thousands of the poor in 40 countries, understanding their challenges and planning new economic systems for them to participate in the green economy.
Hope said "It is difficult for most people to imagine a woman selling her baby to a witch doctor because she could not feed herself or her baby.
Or a woman whose bank account is a goat! When her child gets Malaria she sells the goat to buy medicine.
Or an orphan age 11 who is head of the household, responsible for 4 brothers and sisters.
Or the headmaster who weeps as he chooses between paying teachers wages or buying sand to stop the worms eating the children's toes as they sit on the floor at school.
The screaming child whose mother feels powerless to sooth him as the worms crawls around in his fingertips. There are no nurses, sterilized knifes or antiseptic to extract and heal them.
These are the daily challenges of the poorest of the poor. The Queen of Green social investment portfolio is transforming the lives of 200 million in 70 countries by restoring their dignity and empowering them to be part of the solution.
By investing as grass roots it is possible to build peace and prosperity.
