What sets SIS apart?
Growing Income and Opportunity
Dilanthi Ranaweera, SIS/MA '15
The seeds of landing my dream job were planted at SIS.
I want rural, low-income farmers to have more opportunities: access to health care; education; better technology; the chance to simply take a vacation. As part of the field operations team at One Acre Fund, I helped remove the income barriers standing in their way by increasing their harvest and household profits. This is my dream job, and the seeds of that dream were planted at SIS.
