PATHWAY OUT OF POVERTY
Date and time

Webinar
Description
Helping women everywhere to thrive economically will accelerate the end of extreme poverty – and we
are closer than you may think. Access to financial services unleashes economic opportunity for women,
even in the most vulnerable communities. Economic opportunity results not only in better incomes, but
also improved nutrition, health, and education for children. Empowered women invest in their
children’s futures.
Through the Women’s Empowerment Fund, World Vision is powering the elimination of extreme poverty
by fueling the power and potential of women growing and improving their own farms and businesses.
Our guest speakers will describe how financial services unleash improved livelihoods, and how that impacts families:
• Gina Buser, CEO and Co-Founder, Traveling Coaches
• Joanna Wasmuth, Managing Director for International Development, Carter Global Philanthropy
• Mercy Niwe, Senior Program Manager, World Vison
There will be time allocated for Q&A.
