Profits With Purpose - Afghanistan

There’s nothing a terrorist fears more than an educated girl. But right now, only 37% of adolescent girls in Afghanistan are literate. And of the 3.5 million children out of school, 85% are girls. This week we’re joined by one of the guys from an incredible company called Combat Flip Flops, co-founded by U.S. special forces members who met in Afghanistan, now creating jobs in war zones - and then turning business proceeds into community good and education in Afghanistan. Meet the Unarmed Forces.
