Nuru International
Nuru International is a U.S.-based social venture that equips the poor living in remote, rural areas to end extreme poverty in their communities.〔(Guidestar Profile )〕 Nuru is a Kiswahili word that means "light." Nuru International currently works in Kenya and Ethiopia.
==History==
Nuru International was founded by CEO Jake Harriman, who attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served over 7 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Platoon Commander in both the Infantry and a Special Operations unit called Force Recon. Jake led Marines in four operational deployments throughout Southwest Asia/Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, including two combat tours in Iraq during the Iraq War. He was awarded the Bronze Star for actions in combat during his second tour in Iraq.〔("Recession lesson: Confidence without arrogance" ) by Andrew S. Ross, September 12, 2010.〕
Harriman's experiences in combat compelled him to believe that extreme poverty was a contributing factor to global terrorism.〔(Uncommon Valor: A Marine Trades His Guns for Good ) by Will Laughlin, tonic.com.〕 Harriman left his career in the Marine Corps and enrolled at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business to start an organization that would fight terrorism by ending extreme poverty.〔(Giving to Stanford - Student Profile - Jake Harriman )〕 Nuru International began operations in 2008.〔(Profile: Nuru International - One Day's Wages )〕
