Peter Haas and Elizabeth Scharpf honored at Clinton Global Initiative

Congratulations to Sustainable Health Enterprises (SHE) and Appropriate Infrastructure Development Group (AIDG) for being honored by President Bill Clinton at the Fifth Annual Clinton Global Initiative. Both organizations were recognized for the extraordinary role they play as leaders in the public sector. 

Each year, Clinton Global Initiative invites a select group of global leaders to publically declare the quantifiable steps--commitments--they will take to increase their impact. This year, 2008 Fellow Elizabeth Scharpf and 2007 Fellow Peter Haas were among the few to have their organizations’ work and commitments presented.  

SHE is investing in girls, one pad at a time, providing eco-friendly sanitary napkins and health education to girls and women in Sub-Saharan Africa.  AIDG will continue to create new infrastructure development enterprises for underserved communities in Haiti, and will soon conduct business plan competitions in each of its areas of operations.
