EQUITY Responds: WID Answers Your Questions
Q: A group of friends and me have for several years participated in a small donors circle in California. We have been considering expanding our efforts internationally where small amounts of money can go further. Is there a way to target disability internationally in low and middle income countries to support entrepreneurial efforts and the local economies?
