I wanted to start The G.R.O Foundation to let the people of Lesotho accomplish realistic goals in their own lives. While working in the developing world, I found it so important for long term success to give the majority of responsibility and creative control of projects to the actual people in these countries, as they know how to best run the projects. When we established The GRO Foundation we purposefully sought to set it up to enable committed groups of people the ability to make a positive change in their own communities. We focus on providing resources and support when needed that they could not have obtained due to their economic or social situation. By focusing on community led development you assist communities in strengthening from the ground up…this is the vision of The G.R.O. Foundation.
