Today is International Day of the Girl Child. Let us take this day to acknowledge that while women and girls are driving some of the most transformative changes globally, philanthropy too often overlooks their voices. We're proud to partner with many organizations helping girls and women worldwide achieve their full potential, including Collective Future Fund, Grantmakers for Girls of Color, and Echidna Giving. Philanthropy must prioritize girls' leadership for them—and the initiatives supporting them—to truly succeed. #Philanthropy #DayOfTheGirlChild To learn more about #RPA's sponsored projects, click below: https://lnkd.in/eg-tT_H2

Today, #RPA is taking decisive action against one of the world’s most urgent and overlooked public health emergencies—lead poisoning. Through the Eliminating Lead Poisoning Innovation Fund, we’re driving bold innovations to transform how we detect and combat lead exposure, particularly in low- and middle-income communities that have been neglected for far too long. In partnership with UNICEF and USAID’s Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, RPA will leverage its global philanthropic network to convene an advisory board of experts and community members on the frontlines of this crisis. At RPA, we believe in the power of innovation to unlock solutions. From low-cost, portable tools that detect lead in homes and schools to groundbreaking new technologies, the Eliminating Lead Poisoning Innovation Fund will surface and scale transformative solutions. We’re not just addressing a symptom—we’re tackling the systems that allow this kind of inequality to persist. #RPAImpact #LeadFreeFuture Learn more about the Eliminating Lead Poisoning Innovation Fund: https://lnkd.in/diXEHtZb
