Run to End Poverty Ottawa

Run to End Poverty is coming to Ottawa Race Weekend! Click ‘Get Started’ on the right to join the R2EP team!!

This year, R2EP Ottawa is running in support of Engineers Without Borders’ “Agriculture Value Chains” team in Zambia!

The Agriculture Value Chains team is working hard to facilitate stronger links between the privatesector and rural farmers to increase access to suppliers (for needed farming inputs like seeds or fertilizers), microcredit, and market opportunity for rural communities. By working directly with development organizations in Zambia, EWB can help these organizations to bridge this gap and connect small businesses and farmers, so both can better succeed.
