Leading with Care: How Women Around the World are Inspiring Businesses, Empowering Communities, and Creating Opportunity

OVERCOMING DISCRIMINATION THROUGH LITERACY

One of the most difficult challenges I faced in writing this book was selecting the specific CARE project participants to profile. I learned about woman after powerful woman who is walking a more solid path in life because of programs that CARE brought to her community. Although selecting just one of these women was a tough decision, I found myself especially humbled by Lester Zakaria, who took it upon herself to raise the status of women in her village by teaching them to read and write.
