Viola Vaughan discovers there's a lot of work to do during retirement. She moved her life from Detroit, Michigan to Senegal, Africa and began promoting education and employment in rural areas. 10,000 Girls seeks to develop self-reliant and capable young women through a self-sustaining program run for and by the girls.
The entrepreneur program teaches crafts, trades, and business basics. Some of the girls have gone on to university studies. Others have opened their own businesses. The most important point is self-sufficiency. More than 2,000 girls have been helped so far, but the aim is 10,000. (Who knows. With Vaughan's tenacious spirit that number may go up.)
