In a town near Ndola in Zambia, women with little choice but prostitution to feed their children are learning how to make a living sewing school uniforms.
A Pennsylvania nonprofit organization is helping make that possible. Forgotten Voices International provides $2,750 in donated seed money every six months to train the women and give each her own sewing machine, fabric and startup cash.
Founder Ryan Keith doesn’t see himself as an entrepreneur, but Forgotten Voices is helping create jobs. For his efforts, the Harrisburg Regional Chamber named Keith its Entrepreneur of the Year for 2011.

When Riley Miller opened her first lemonade stands in 2005, she was hoping to raise at least $1,000.
When she closed the stands with $15,000 in hand, she decided to run more stands the following summer. Six years later, Riley, a 17-year-old from Bowling Green, Ky., has raised $140,000 and will soon be honored as 2011’s Stand Host of the Year for Alex’s Lemonade Stand — a national organization that raises money for childhood cancer research.
She will receive the award in Philadelphia on Jan. 14.
