Ann Down

FounderThe Good Works Institute

Biography

Graduated UCLA, married 35 years, two children, four grandchildren. Established a family foundation, the Good Works Institute, in 1999. We support small, grass-roots organizations that focus on (1) the health and welfare of children - education, health care, nutrition and protection from the sex trade and (2) preservation and protection of the environment - solar systems, cookers and lights, public lands ranching, etc.

I make it a practice to visit as many projects as possible. Most of these are outside the US in Nepal, India, Vietnam, Kenya, Tanzania, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
