Janet Driver: Empowering Lives Through Education
About Janet Driver:
As Director of Partnerships at the Unstoppable Foundation, Janet spends every day bringing sustainable solutions, hope, and life-saving services to impoverished families in rural Kenya. For more than 7 years, she’s been living her ultimate dream by partnering with their global community of compassionate, visionary philanthropists, saving and empowering young lives through education as part of the Unstoppable Foundation Development Team.
A clean, healthy lifestyle energizes her unwavering drive to embrace her commitment to her work. She lives by her mantra of God first, and her greatest joys are being a wife, mother, and grandmother. She lives in Southern Nevada with her husband Gordon and their mastiff, Sam. Gord and Janet have 5 grown children and 3 grandchildren.
In this episode, Jim and Janet Driver discuss:
- The Unstoppable Foundation’s mission of combating poverty through education
- How holistic support, including food, water, and healthcare, enables education
- The importance of honoring, not replacing, indigenous cultures while offering resources
- Success stories of rescued girls and how empowered women are transforming villages
- Why giving transforms both the giver and the recipient
Key Takeaways:
- It takes more than classrooms to end poverty. Without access to clean water, healthcare, and stable income, education alone won’t lift a community out of hardship.
- The most impactful programs aren’t imposed, they’re built alongside the people they serve. Janet emphasizes the importance of honoring indigenous culture while providing tools for growth.
- One girl’s education can change the trajectory of an entire village. Over time, those empowered young women become mothers, leaders, and advocates for the next generation.
- Gratitude isn’t about how much you have. It’s often found in the humblest homes, where joy comes from connection, faith, and simple acts of kindness.
- Generosity multiplies. Every time you give, whether it’s time, resources, or encouragement, you spark a ripple effect that continues long after you’re gone.
"I see people who have nothing and appreciate everything, and I know that for me, it can be an epidemic in our country, where our kids grow up having everything and struggle to appreciate anything." – Janet Driver
