  • Episode 2 with Nivi Sharma | Rural Isolation is the Root Cause of Poverty
    2023/02/24

    "There are people who can't get to a market, to a school, or to a health care facility - all these things that we take for granted are the real cause of poverty in rural areas."

    We had a wonderful conversation with Nivi Sharma, CEO of Bridges to Prosperity and a member of our Board of Directors, about her transition from tech to infrastructure, and how her passion for access for rural communities meets our work to make the invisibles visible. 

    Listen and share!
