Taking For-profit Know-how to the Nonprofit Sector

The Access Project works to improve health care in Rwanda and other African nations. To succeed in a nonprofit like Access, you might expect that being a doctor would be the perfect qualification. But that’s not necessarily the case. Right now, we need people who are excellent managers, who are able to run an organization efficiently, cost-effectively and with an eye on results. So in our case, a background in successfully running a business might be more desirable than a medical degree.
