Kuli Kuli would not exist [without the Peace Corps]~ Lisa

Listen to the story of a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer who leveraged her experience in Niger to bring Moringa (super food) food products to Whole Foods.

Key takeaways:

  • Moringa solves multiple problems- it is highly nutritious, it grows in hot, dry climates (common in the developing world and growing because of climate change)
  • Lisa learned about Moringa from the local health center in the area where she served
  • The importance of creating a market and knowing the community you are trying to serve
