Summit Series '25: Krista Krieger, Executive Director, Empowers Africa
Description
💬 “If people don’t see the issue, they don’t know about it.”
In episode 5 of our Concordia Summit Series, we sit down with Krista Krieger, Executive Director of Empowers Africa, to discuss how her organization connects donors to high-impact conservation and community projects across Africa — and why transparency, storytelling, and local empowerment are at the heart of their mission.
👉 What you’ll hear:
- How Empowers Africa bridges global philanthropy with grassroots action
- Why being “all female run and female governed” shapes their approach to impact
- The power of film in driving awareness, including their short documentaries now streaming on Apple TV and Amazon Prime
- How accountability and on-the-ground visits ensure funds reach the people and projects that need them most
