About
Glimmer Austin
While deeply devoted to their work in Ethiopia, the Berbers recognized the potential of empowering innovative, grassroots nonprofits to solve the complex and severe challenges of those living in poverty in Austin. Glimmer Austin is focused on improving the lives of those who suffer from hunger, homelessness and a lack of basic needs.
