Women in poor rural communities want nothing more than to end poverty and hunger. We unite the power of women with the power of technology to increase women’s access to essential services. And we help to build an environment that supports her breakthrough, whether through strengthening peer networks or developing products designed for her.

Student Volunteers will support our work through volunteering to help with administrative tasks associated with fundraising, including processing mailers and providing administrating support to fundraising campaigns around seasonal fundraising, for example around Mother's Day, International Women's Day, Christmas and New Years.  Some student volunteers may also help by developing social media posts - derived from our on-line materials.  Because the volunteering is largely office work, it would be accessible to students with differing abilities.
