Women Thrive Worldwide

I recently came across an organization that assists women to thrive world. The organization is named Women Thrive Worldwide. Their website is www.womenthrive.org

The organization founded by Ritu Sharma and Rochelle Consignado helps develop, shape, and advocate for policies that foster economic opportunity for women living in poverty. They focus on making U.S. international assistance and trade programs prioritize women. They bring together a diverse coalition of over 50 organizations and 40,000 individuals united in the belief that women are the key to ending global poverty, and empowering them is not only right, it’s also the most effective long-term solution to world poverty.

Ending Global Poverty Begins with Women
Around the world, women are at the highest risk of being poor. Greater economic opportunity empowers women--and their families--to escape poverty.

When You Teach a Woman to Fish, Everybody Eats.

Women in poor countries are more likely to spend their income on food, education, and healthcare for their children, reducing poverty in the long-term.

When Women Thrive, Families and Communities Thrive

Imagine a world where all women are able to get a job, escape abuse, and feed their children. Imagine a world where women are free to thrive.

Feel free to visit the website and support them if you can.
