about
Each of these women were previously interns for our organization; we are lucky to now have them on as 100 Rural Women staff members. These women play a huge role in making our projects and networks a reality. Their creative, young minds are what make 100 Rural Women what it is today. Further, they help us pave a path toward a future where more women lead.
