You have now heard a little about my story and how my father escaped poverty by benefiting from the same type of programs implemented worldwide by Freedom from Hunger. My father’s determination helped my family and me access education. With this education I have chosen to give back to those in need. Join our chat and take this time to learn more about me, my contribution to Freedom from Hunger, our initiative to develop health protection services that complement our partners’ credit services, and our main goal of ending hunger for good.

You’ve just heard a little about how our Microfinance and Health Protection Initiative is bringing innovative solutions to the problems faced by the women we serve. While poor health affects all families, it is especially devastating for those living in poverty, resulting in loss of income and accumulation of debt that can plague a family for years. I now invite you to join me in a conversation about my experiences in international development and how integrating health protection services with microfinance is helping to break this vicious circle and take us one step closer to ending hunger— for good.

I hope you have found the video about how Reach India is bringing HIV education to rural communities in India informative. HIV infection rates are increasing in India and, like it has in other countries, the disease is having a devastating impact on millions of people. In a country filled with positive attributes such as a diverse culture, rich history, and flavorful cuisine, India sadly experiences widespread poverty, hunger and poor health. Please join me in a conversation about the challenges faced by Indians living in rural poverty, and the self-help solutions offered by our Reach India initiative.
