Rung helps women escape intergenerational poverty.

Rung will serve women who want to achieve holistic self-sufficiency and long-term family stability. Just as there are many great organizations aiding women in crisis, there are many supporting women with defined career paths and financial stability. Rung fills a very important, existing gap for women who are in transition from poverty to sustained, holistic success.
