EP. 32: Amy Bardi, Founder of Clothed in Hope
On this week’s episode of the Business with Purpose podcast, I am sitting down with Amy Bardi, founder and executive director of Clothed in Hope. Founded in 2011, Clothed in Hope is a 501(c)(3) international nonprofit organization that provides life-skills education, empowerment, and economic opportunity to vulnerable women in Zambia, Africa. Operating in the Ng’ombe Compound in Lusaka, Zambia, Clothed in Hope is empowering women in a sustainable, community-owned way as a means of orphan prevention. With local partnerships, six local staff members, and the home of HOPE at the Chikondi Community Center, CiH has impacted the lives of over 120 Zambian women and their families. CiH is breaking the cycle of poverty, one stitch at a time. Amy is truly an amazing woman and I loved my conversation with her! I know you will, too!
