Jennifer Lentfer, friend of WhyDev and development professional based in Washington D.C, runs How-Matters.org. She writes about aid and development with a focus on empathy and compassion, something surprisingly rare. With often thought provoking posts, her keen insights are often counter balanced by large amounts of warmth and humour. AidWork’s editor-at-large, Cate Coorey caught up with Jennifer to discuss what makes effective aid and some of the common misconceptions about aid work.
