In this episode of The Youth Ledger, host Shiven Diwakar sits down with nonprofit leader Tricia Medrano Bridges to explore the story behind Chiapas International—a groundbreaking initiative that helped raise over $6 million in microloans for women across Latin America. Tricia shares how she partnered with the Grameen Foundation, worked in countries like Mexico, El Salvador, and Haiti, and saw firsthand how financial empowerment created long-lasting change. From her early work in the YMCA to global recognition from Nobel Laureate Muhammad Yunus, Tricia reflects on what it takes to create sustainable impact through grassroots development and global collaboration.
