about the luncheon
We’ll explore the role of empowerment in poverty alleviation with Brian Fikkert, author of When Helping Hurts.
Our Spring Fundraising Luncheon is an opportunity for us to learn together how we can help the poor in ways that promote dignity and bring sustainable change within communities. Brian will lead us in this thought-provoking discussion and its application.
Join us as we continue to empower the world’s most fragile and underserved communities.
