The Story Behind United
United. Esperanza, Soap Hope and Good Returns know the facts. If you want to end global poverty, it starts by providing women with equal access and equal opportunity to start their own businesses and lead in their communities. When women rise, entire generations are transformed. This isn't unique to certain parts of the world or certain cultures, it's a widespread truth, backed by years and years of data to support the impact it creates. Good Returns set out to tell this story through the perspective of Soap Hope, Esperanza and the impact being created through their Cycle partnership.
Want children to have more access to education? Empower Women. Want more financial resources to flow into underserved communities? Empower women. Want community health to increase? Empower women. Want population growth to decline? Empower women.
United is about the women that have built businesses from the ground up, the women that have become leaders in their communities, and the women that work tirelessly to pave the way towards a brighter future for generations to come.
They are united. And we are united with them.
