Save the Date: An Opportunity Summer Reception – Local Food for a Global Impact
TUESDAY, JUNE 12
Virtue Feed & Grain, 106 South Union, Alexandria, VA 22314
Chapter: YAO-DC
As many of you know, I have the privilege of serving on the DC Chapter for Young Ambassadors for Opportunity (YAO), which is an amazing team of young professionals and entrepreneurs around the globe who team up with Opportunity, International to advance micro-finance loans and on-the-ground banking solutions in developing communities worldwide.
On Tuesday, June 12, we’ll be learning about the challenges specifically facing small-scale subsistence farmers in Africa and how you can be a part of the solution. Join us at Virtue Feed & Grain, which features local and sustainable products that create a global impact.
Interesting Fact: Every three out of four malnourished children in Africa are the sons and daughters of farmers, the people who grow the region’s food. Most African farming families fall into the category of subsistence farmers.
Opportunity International is reaching remote villages to empower subsistence farmers to yield a more bountiful harvest for their communities.
