Women Thrive Worldwide
Monday, April 14, 2008
I would like to bring your attention to an organization - Women Thrive Worldwide.

Women Thrive Worldwide is a leading non-profit organization helping to shape U.S. Policy to give women in developing countries a chance to lift themselves out of poverty.

Women Thrive - develops, shapes, and advocates 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 over 50 organizations and 25,000 individuals united in the belief that women are the key to ending global poverty.

They believe that empowering women is not only right, it’s also the most effective long-term solution to world poverty.

Research shows that worldwide, women are at the greatest risk of being poor and that women in poor countries are more likely to use their income for food, healthcare and education for their children, helping to lift entire communities out of poverty. Yet, Ironically - in many developting countries women face unequal social and economic barriers that prevent them from earning a living and supporting their families.

Please visit Women Thrive Worldwide, and Take Action
