In celebration of International Women's Month we are pleased to launch our partnership with the Women's Edge Coalition and their Global Opportunity for Women campaign. Described as a movement that " ignites the collective power of individuals, businesses, governments, and nonprofits to end global poverty by investing in the world's women'" the goal is to support the United Nations Millenium goal of reducing extreme poverty in half by 2015.

The GLOBAL OPPORTUNITY FOR WOMEN campaign was launched by the Women's Edge Coalition, the leading nonpartisan organization shaping U.S. policy to benefit poor women worldwide. For more information about Women's Edge Coalition please visit their website at www.womensedge.org
The vast majority of the 1.3 billion people living on less than $1a day are women. The face of poverty is women. And women are also the key to transformative change. With an extra dollar in her pocket, a poor woman is more likely to invest in aspects that break the cycle of poverty-like education, healthcare and better nutrition for her family. Over time her capacity to support her family helps to create stronger communities and nations - the foundations for peace and security.
