Celebrating Local Efforts towards Ending Poverty
Poverty isn’t something that exists only in other countries. It is very much real and tangible within our own communities here in San Diego. Come learn about its reality within SD and the USA, and hear inspiring stories from individuals who have benefited from local organizations that work to alleviate poverty locally and globally, through microfinance and women empowerment.
Panel Discussion Moderated by:
Dr. Stephen Conroy, Director of Center for Peace and Commerce, Professor of Economics (University of San Diego)
- Microfinance Organizations in SD area and women empowerment
