“It is no secret that empowered women lead to empowered families, which then lead to empowered communities. We all know that a woman is a cook, a nurse, a teacher, a caregiver, the cleaner, the accountant and many other titles in the home. Therefore, investing in women is not only prudent, it is necessary. I anticipate that this is the beginning of a strong and fruitful partnership to build our rural families and communities.”
