Tell the White House to Make Aid Work!


Over a billion people worldwide live in extreme poverty, struggling to survive on around $1 a day or less. The majority - 829 million - are women. This is a problem that affects all of humanity - when women are poor, entire communities suffer because they are not free to earn an income, feed their families, or protect themselves and their children from violence.

U.S. international assistance has the potential to be a major force for good - in fact, when done right, it has eradicated entire diseases, alleviated poverty, and sent countless girls to school. The problem? Our foreign assistance system is outdated and designed in a way that prevents us from reaching these achievable goals. This is bad news for women struggling to escape poverty: they cannot benefit from resources that would dramatically change their families' lives.

Right now, President Obama and his senior advisors are debating the future of U.S. efforts to alleviate poverty, fight disease, and create economic opportunity for the world’s poorest people.

National Security Advisor James Jones and National Economic Council Director Lawrence Summers are urgently preparing recommendations for how the whole U.S. government should do development in the 21st century. Their recommendations could determine the future of U.S. foreign assistance.

Women Thrive Worldwide is partnering with the ONE Campaign, Bread for the World, Publish What You Fund, Save the Children, RESULTS, Mercy Corps, American Jewish World Service, Oxfam, CARE and the entire development community to create the first ever petition asking the White House to make a strong statement about America’s commitment to development.  We're delivering the petition and signatures to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue - help us by signing this petition!

Sign the petition today: Tell the President and his team to make aid work for those who need it!
