Founded by a former US Marine, formed at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, and fueled by angel investors from Silicon Valley, this is our story:Nuru International is a nonprofit organization devoted to fight extreme poverty and finding solutions to end world poverty in remote, rural areas. Nuru International was founded by CEO Jake Harriman, who attended the U.S. Naval Academy and served over 7 years in the U.S. Marine Corps as a Platoon Commander in both the Infantry and a Special Operations unit called Force Recon. Jake led Marines in four operational deployments throughout Southwest Asia/Middle East, Africa, and Southeast Asia, including two combat tours in Iraq during the Iraq War. He was awarded the Bronze Star for actions in combat during his second tour in Iraq.
Harriman’s experiences in combat compelled him to believe that extreme poverty was a contributing factor to global terrorism. Harriman left his career in the Marine Corps and enrolled at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business to start an organization that would fight terrorism by ending extreme poverty.Nuru International began operations in 2008.
