The world’s largest leadership NGO for women, Vital Voices has mentored and trained more than 10,000 women from more than 120 countries over the past 14 years, amplifying their voices and investing in their progress. The women the organization works with have gone on to launch local businesses, start microfinancing networks in their communities, combat human trafficking, run for office, and develop historic women’s-rights legislation, as well as share their expertise and training with other women in their communities.
