CGI Member the Hashoo Foundation Wins World Challenge Award

The Hashoo Foundation’s 2007 CGI commitment, Women Empowerment through Honey Bee Farming, won the 2008 World Challenge Prize, granted by BBC World News and Newsweek, in association with Shell. The Pakistani-based initiative teaches female entrepreneurs how to start and scale up beekeeping enterprises, granting them a stable income for themselves and their dependents. The award, which includes a $20,000 grant from Shell, was announced in December as part of a BBC World News Broadcast.
