In this episode, Zeinab & Trisha join Co-Founder & Country Director of Educaid Sierra Leone, Miriam Mason, as she explains how she built a not-for-profit to enable underprivileged children to receive high quality education. Arriving in Sierra Leone in 2000 at the end of the civil war, Miriam started a school in her backyard with 20 children, which has now grown to a network of 9 schools serving over 3,000 students. Miriam shares her entrepreneurial journey to build Educaid, her passion for education, and how she was able to influence country-wide change by building a standard for high quality education at Educaid.
