2015 Through Our Instagram Lens
In 2015, our work spanned the globe and the spectrum of opportunities, from safeguarding public health on the roads and encouraging local climate action to boosting the arts and empowering women entrepreneurs in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Take an Instagram tour through some of the moments and milestones that made up our year.
