Why LEO?

"I joined LEO because I fell in love with the mission to end poverty by building evidence and sharing best practices. In order to make a difference, we desperately need to understand what works and what doesn't - I love that at LEO we lean in to our strengths and pair rigorous research with innovative, thoughtful programs to help the most vulnerable move out of poverty."
