PovertyCure Radio
Summary: PovertyCure(.org) is an international coalition of over 230 partner organizations and 1 million supporters (and growing - like us on facebook.com/povertycure). We have spent the last several years traveling the world collecting stories and insights from over 150 interviews with entrepreneurs, economists, political and religious leaders, missionaries, NGO workers, and everyday people. Now we are sharing those voices, stories, and insights we have gathered with YOU. Tune in for interview clips and lectures focused on identifying more effective ways of addressing global poverty. Warning: this podcast will make you think.
