Across the world, the need for jobs and a chance at a better life has never been more urgent.
As many as 50 million people could lose their jobs in 2009 amid the biggest economic crisis since the Great Depression. Extreme poverty is expected to retain its hold on more than 50 million people who otherwise might have escaped it.

In helping our clients succeed, we are carrying out a vital mission—to create opportunity for people to escape poverty and improve their lives.
