About Bridget Mulindi Meyer: Bridget was born in Nsongwe Village, near Victoria Falls, in Zambia. Her father was a traditional cattle farmer and she was the only girl from her village to graduate from high school. In 1987, she married an American, Bob Meyer, and together they founded Toka, a company that imported baskets from Zambia. In 2011, Bridget and Bob moved to Nsongwe Village and began farming, while Bridget assumed a leadership role in the community. Her efforts have led to large improvements in local infrastructure, including roads, schools, access to healthcare, and electricity.
