Since 1961, the U.S. Agency for International Development has saved countless lives and strengthened communities around the world with programs focused on hunger, poverty, disease, and education. The loss of U.S. foreign aid opens the door to needless suffering for some of the most vulnerable people in the world.Join us for an evening of connection, storytelling, and dialogue as we explore what this means for our global community. Hear firsthand from those most affected by USAID, then engage with distinguished panelists as they discuss the humanitarian benefits of USAID, the impacts of its loss, and what happens next.
