Dr. Suchi Gaur is the Founder of Mission Hummingbirds and is on a new journey to resource the work that women and young women are doing in their local communities.
In this episode, Dr. Suchi Gaur discusses:
- the story of hummingbirds and how this powerful and tiny bird has inspired her personally, appearing in challenging times in her life and giving her hope.
- the loss of her mother two years ago after fighting a strong battle with cancer and long COVID.
- understanding that everyone’s journey through grief is different.
- not knowing how to process her grief, and then deciding to convert that grief into gratitude.
- the new organization, Mission Hummingbirds, that she recently founded to honor her inspiring mother.
- her goal of capitalizing on her 20 years in the development space to support, resource, and nurture women and young women to live their dreams through the concept of “Find, Foster, Fund”.
- that one of the biggest problems in the development sector is that most of the financial resources rarely reach the hands of women and young women in their communities.
- the importance of listening to women and young women, trusting that they know how resources can be best used, and resourcing their work.
- and the reminder that “Every one of us can contribute to making the world a better place.”
