Alice Kramer

Alice Kramer is on the board of the Wonderbag Foundation and has been part of the Wonderbag journey since it was founded in 2009. The wonderbag is an innovative, low-tech heavily insulated bag which enables cooking through heat retention.

The Wonderbag Foundation has a vision of empowering women which includes global access to healthcare for women to enable school attendance and education. Without addressing the basic human needs of food, health and access to energy, girls don't even get as far as the school gates. Development for women and girls and boys will happen first and foremost with business support and this vision drives the Wonderbag's dual commercial and foundation business model.

Alice has supported Wonderbag founder Sarah Collins in thinking through the challenges and has been instrumental in executing empowerment solutions using catalysts like the Wonderbag as tools to empower homes as proven by the joint project run in Ghana with Pfizer.

Alice is a firm believer in the life changing power of education. Closer to home, she partners the principal of the Hout Bay High School in the disadvantaged Hangberg community in Cape Town. Schools in disadvantaged communities have to overcome many socio-economic challenges, including poverty, hunger and poor health before meaningful learning can take place. At a Wonderbag Foundation meeting in May 2016 Sarah and Alice decided to launch the Wonderbag Coalition of Action (COA) at the Hout Bay High School. The Wonderbag COA unites communities and leaders across the world to work together to achieve many of the world's sustainability goals.
