Global Tipping Points | Developing Emerging Economies: Strategy to help End Poverty
Over 2 billion people—1 in 4 globally—earn less than $4 a day. This stark reality not only deepens the income divide but also poses one of the greatest risks to democracy and free enterprise. With massive youth unemployment and rising poverty driving migration to the southern borders of the U.S. and Europe, the need for innovative solutions has never been greater.
Join us on October 9th at 6 pm EST for the second installment of the T. William & Patricia Ayers Global Tipping Points series, featuring Marc Blumenthal, Executive Director and founder of the Social Ventures Foundation, a New Hampshire-based non-profit dedicated to reshaping international development through social franchising. Marc will share his unique approach to fostering “sustainable bottom-up” economic growth, focusing on grassroots ventures in Central America and the Caribbean that are transforming local economies, empowering communities, and creating long-term pathways out of poverty.
