068: Building Sustainability - Allison Karnes

Allison Karnes returns in this episode to discuss the need for sustainability in an organization. She is the founder of WRAPS, which you can learn about in Episode 67 [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1462189/14395264]. Because WRAPS gives away a lot its products to those in need, she chose to produce and sell other goods and run a cafe to create additional streams of revenue to run the ministry rather than allowing it to be solely dependent on donations.  Show Links Ed Gillentine: EdGillentine.com [https://www.edgillentine.com/] Instagram: @journey.to.impact [https://www.instagram.com/journey.to.impact/] WRAPS: Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/WRAPSforgirls] Donate to WRAPS: Global Outreach [https://globaloutreach.org/giving/project-details/wraps-mark-and-allison-karnes] The Forsaken Children [https://www.theforsakenchildren.org/give] Books: Journey To Impact [https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Impact-Practical-Purpose-Driven-Investing/dp/1613145470/ref=tmm_pap_title_1?_encoding=UTF8&%3Bqid=1575643935&%3Bsr=8-1] by Ed Gillentine Built to Last [https://www.amazon.com/Built-Last-Successful-Visionary-Essentials/dp/B001W6RRNY/ref=sr_1_4?crid=1XGWS01A9X7W0&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Wo9nQbb0r1GmWQpYvPZ_r9u91sakkhXszEn4EyoU5kCxq525JM1zzVMkN51vBzhZNBiRN6RV-sn-FzjsHgi9P7Iu9-W6u239-tdcKkpGNW9_Ay3HBkdWXO8BnVDtpfQ6R33n_3FBB3JF4SLWz46Ew4wEm5WwwSWPtJ-Vr9Pm-aid2lEOqbi5TPMLV16MUS66jFhwKZtR2c107dr4oyKrQ_bF2hTutoGbce1QGFmQCSg.5IgAA0YeDfhenRVnGh7X4UsdWO3I-D7lhSyZv_zHvVc&dib_tag=se&keywords=built+to+last&qid=1709017144&sprefix=built+to+last%2Caps%2C98&sr=8-4] by Jim Collins Good to Great and the Social Sectors [https://www.amazon.com/Good-Great-Social-Sectors-Business/dp/0977326403/ref=sr_1_5?crid=33IY7468E90BD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zoq7ofISwxsBwvV3ss-VOnC6gjQCEj1-yHcS_encCNfyDZJPZy8Buog447alyR1J8dOlFkEau-cVRsjzOaPEQ8qP48Xw8Pf_tJK29VhIRN0XUVkZD_QpMMesmUdgpVUrQ_riwNxgygleNlbJEmICe3M4Yg89x6osiXu0486pRukzaMV_AV2Z4w4Sh4ISySroAb3y_U0zPsi7Opbv8XbEcSS1YEfRYa5UzxhZG4pVUsM.F_wSpP-AEMvxZmFoi-WpaW8sg99SSkxa_KWswdnv89o&dib_tag=se&keywords=good+to+great&qid=1709017195&sprefix=good+to+great%2Caps%2C88&sr=8-5] by Jim Collins

Today you'll hear from Allison Karnes, the founder of WRAPS. She started this ministry that makes and gives away Washable, Reusable, Affordable Pads to girls in Ethiopia.
