Payton McGriff saw an opportunity to help girls in impoverished Sub-Saharan nations better their futures by attending school. With some fellow business students from the University of Idaho, McGriff formed Style Her Empowered. They teach girls in Togo to sew their own school uniforms, overcoming one of the largest obstacles to education in Africa. McGriff joins Idaho Matters to talk about their work and empowering people through education.
