Joy Kolin, founder of Giving Joy, was a guest on Small & Gutsy: Nonprofit Stories with Heart with Dr. Laura Scherck Wittcoff.
The story starts in northern Ethiopia, with broken tablets that sat unused for six months while everyone waited for the next project to replace them. That moment changed how Joy thought about development. It led her to start giving $500 microgrants to women with their own ideas for helping their communities.
In the episode, Joy talks about how Giving Joy works, what women have done with their grants, and why small, gutsy bets on women make change last.
