Jacqueline Novogratz is my hero, I so love her work. She is the Founder and CEO of Acumen Fund, a non-profit global venture fund that uses entrepreneurial approaches to solve the problems of global poverty. I met Jacqueline at TED2010, a wonderful, humble and remarkable lady that is doing so much for Africa.
Jacqueline
Jacqueline is slowly changing the rules of the game in Africa, she is taking action and making a huge difference in people lives. She is genuinely interested and emotionally linked to Africa which I admire enormously. Being an advocate for Africa in all spectrum, having met so many friends of Africa, I can say that what the world needs now is more Jacqueline Novogratz. I am sure your work will inspire millions in the years to come.Thank you Jacqueline for your great work. I love you! xx
