Description
Jake Harriman is a former Marine who fought terrorists with a gun. After a life-changing experience in Iraq, he put down the gun, left the Marines, and set off on mission to end extreme poverty — and thus fight the root causes of terrorism.
Harriman founded Nuru International, which has already touched the lives of some 5,000 people in Africa.
