Move The Zero for Women

In honor of International Women's Day, connect women like Archana to the resources they need to change their lives! Dear Friend, The brightest minds are stimulated most when they're working on the world's toughest challenges. Challenges like ending the poverty of more than 1 billion women who live on less than $2.50 a day. Women like Archana. Archana never went to school, and was married at an early age. But arriving in her husband's village, she saw a foolproof business opportunity.  She secured a small loan to finance her big idea through a new microfinance program. Now she has a successful business and she's saving for her children's education. Archana shows what women can do, when given the right opportunities. But what more does it take to move the zero, so $2.50 a day becomes $25.00, and no one goes to sleep at night hungry? It takes people like you. And it takes action. You can connect women like Archana to the resources they need: financial services, information to improve their livelihoods and to protect their health.  Today, women everywhere can access such opportunities right over their mobile phones.  Even in remote villages. Even in crowded city slums.  Given the opportunity, women choose wisely. In honor of International Women's Day this month (March 8th), help some of the world's brightest minds move the zero – and move out of poverty. Take the $2.50 Challenge Today! Set up your own fundraising page to Move the Zero for Women. Use your social media networks to connect women to the resources they need and move out of poverty.   How much do you usually spend in one day? Pledge to live on $2.50 for one day and donate the difference. Take the challenge, and ask your friends and family to sponsor your efforts. Give $25, $250, or $2,500 to Move the Zero for Women living on less than $2.50 a day.
