This advocacy organization represents women in the world that live in extreme poverty (under a $1.25 a day). Through partnerships and coalitions, they work on Capitol Hill to make sure the U.S. government helps create the conditions for economic opportunity and supporting quality education for all. While their work is focused on policy, they make sure the message is delivered through stories.
