About Me:
Hello everyone!
My name is Niki and I'm so excited to start discussing global issues with you all on this forum :)
I'm particularly interested in how I can do my part to eliminate extreme poverty and have founded a charity called Education Without Borders (UNSW) at my University to achieve this goal.
I believe empowering women so they can escape from the poverty cycle is vital in our common goal of ending extreme poverty and I'm currently reading up on this on www.thegirleffect.org
I'm really looking forward to engaging in discussion and brainstorming ideas with all of you soon!

My Vision for the Future:
A world in which no human being lives in extreme poverty
