Posted 29 November 2017 in EMpower News   |   Share

Over the past 5 years, Citi’s e for education campaign has raised more than $22.5 million for education-focused nonprofits. Last night, we were honored to attend the closing event in London, where it was revealed that this year’s campaign raised an incredible $6.25 million! Over the past ten weeks, Citi’s Foreign Exchange and Local Markets (FXLM) business has donated $1 for every $1 million of FX that clients traded via a broad range of electronic platforms.

As one of the seven philanthropic organizations to benefit from the campaign, EMpower will be able to expand and deepen our work, increasing our impact on the lives of at-risk youth in emerging market countries. We are so grateful to Citi for their continued support and belief in our work and that of our amazing grantee partners.

A core building block of EMpower’s youth development work is education. See more about what we do and how our work with local grantee partners in 15 countries gives some of the most disadvantaged and hard-to-reach youth access to a quality, relevant education HERE.
