A black and white image featuring a chalkboard with the words "THE BORGEN PROJECT" written in large, bold letters. Above the chalkboard, a caption reads, "WE FIGHT FOR THE UNDERDOG" in uppercase, black text on a white background. To the right of the chalkboard, four children are seated on the ground, looking towards the camera.

The Borgen Project, a nonprofit organization with mission to fight extreme poverty through policy (not charity!) intervention, recently published an article highlighting The #GlobalPOV Project’s mixed-media approach to curriculum development and pedagogy. Check out the article here.

The Borgen Project believes that leaders of the most powerful nation on earth should be doing more to address global poverty. We’re the innovative, national campaign that is working to make poverty a focus of U.S. foreign policy.”
