Dianne Calvi is the CEO of Village Enterprise. She started with the non-profit in 2010. She has grown the organization from 13 employees to now 200 and overtime she has helped over 1 million people transition out of poverty. Village Enterprise works towards achieving the United Nations’ first sustainable development goal...to end extreme poverty by 2030. And the UN defines extreme poverty by people living on less than one dollar and 25 cents a day. As of last year, more than half of the world’s population living in extreme poverty is located in sub-Saharan Africa...and that is who Village Enterprise works with. Juliette Roy talks with Dianne about her work as the Ceo of Village enterprise and how the non-profit has been making strides in lifting people, mostly women, out of poverty in sub-Saharan Africa.
