African Leaders Support Mass Collaboration to Alleviate Poverty
Ambassador Hope has led the campaign on Capitol Hill for 10 years to change old
policies, create a new Foreign Empowerment Policy, identify and mobilize stakeholders
to put policy into practice. Now 53 countries are standing behind her to break the final
barrier to open the floodgates for the investment funds to flow at grassroots level to
empower 2,166 community and faith-based groups to co-create green and sustainable
communities for 13 million orphans and widows across the continent.

Ambassador Hope said “I was the first leader to incorporate scale and speed into the
solution and work on a continent level, Africa has suffered through a lack of positive
policies, tiny lobbying budgets and cohesive unity on Capitol Hill” she states.
Africans either at the bottom of the list or off the list altogether as 200,000 lobbyists on
Capitol Hill focus on high paying countries, sectors or clients.
“It is a miracle that we have gathered funds and resources from 29 stakeholder groups
to fund this journey, the love and support from orphans, widows, community and faith
groups has fueled us as we overcame thousands of obstacles to empower the poor”.

African Leaders now recognize that unless the poorest of the poor are empowered with
knowledge, processes and technologies they are unable to participate in the local,
regional and global economies and this will hold back the prosperity of the continent.
Queen of Green is a global network of green stakeholders from 29 diverse sectors who
share a common goal of transforming their world.
Ambassador Hope has developed a Social Investment Portfolio of 14 programs to
empower the poor in 70+ countries. She passionately believes in empowering the talent
and skills of the poorest of the poor to become green and sustainable. By integrating the
development process to ensure energy, food, and health security is combined with

2. education and micro-enterprises for economic security it is possible to mobilize millions
of citizens to be the change they want to see in the world.
