Rise Advocacy Chapter February Webinar: The State of U.S. Foreign Aid & Its Impact on Women and Girls

Foreign assistance dollars, only about 1% of the U.S. national budget,  provide life-saving support and interventions for many globally.  Those dollars provide treatment for patients with deadly disease and ensure that mothers and children receive food and prenatal care. At this special February Rise Advocacy Chapter webinar, Dorothy Monza of RESULTS Global Policy Team, along with Rise Grantees from Nurturing Minds, Inc. and Landesa  presented on the current state of US foreign aid, its impact on Rise grantees, and the ways you can advocate to Congress now to reverse the negative impacts of these cuts.
