How do you transform someone who is abused as a child, grows up in poverty, is abused as a child, is a petty criminal, is a drug peddler, for Krie Lopez it is as simple as taking notice of these people and giving them an opportunity to be better, to get them out of the cycle of poverty that they themselves do not see a way out of.
Krie Lopez is the founder and CEO of Messy Bessy and House foundation a corporation that not only makes eco-friendly household cleaners but also and more importantly works with at risk youth and giving them an opportunity to end their cycle of poverty through House Foundation and the work that they do at Messy Bessy.
She shares the journey she and Messy Bessy has taken on this road and the difficulties as well as the learning she and her team has found through the years trying to create a successful business as well as funding the important work they do uplifting the lives of individuals and families from some of the poorest communities in Manila. To date their program has helped over 400 youth and graduated up to 50 College graduates - who in her own description have a better resume than most children who graduate from the top universities in the Philippines.
More importantly she shares here the power of opportunity -where one person given a chance to break free from poverty is a pathway not just for themselves but for whole families and communities offering a model that can be emulated not just by other companies but by governments as well.
