Global BC News: Making a Difference in Peru
Mon, Jun 14 - BC business magnate Frank Giustra is working with Bill Clinton in what they call a "Sustainable Growth Initiative." They are financing eye clinics for the poor- promoting better nutrition for children- and helping local farmers grow organic and sell internationally.
The Clinton Giustra Sustainable Growth Initiative (CGSGI) is an innovative partnership between the William J. Clinton Foundation, the private sector, governments and local communities to increase the scope, scale, impact, and sustainability of economic and social development efforts in areas where poverty is widespread.
Established in June 2007 by President Bill Clinton and Frank Giustra, Exclusive Advisor to Endeavour Financial, CGSGI focuses on alleviating poverty in the developing world through market-driven development that creates jobs and increases incomes, and by strengthening factors that enable economic growth such as health and education.
This week, CGSGI has received the attention of Global TV BC for its positive impact in Colombia and Peru to strengthen child nutrition, expand access to health care in remote areas, and support entrepreneurship.
