These rural communities need to be able to count on democratic governance, financing for alternative livelihood, rule of law, schools and health clinics, and the protection of their local social leaders.
The administration cannot be successful in these initiatives if we under or defund the basics, which is exactly what the proposed 20 percent cut to our foreign assistance programs would do.
I think that they are so critical to bringing together health, social support, family-community engagement, early childhood development opportunities to really help students and their families thrive.
I want to quickly echo Chairman Lowey's concerns about the capital investment grants, and note that I am also glad to see the funding for the program in your request.
