Many other countries have large gaps within their economic status which Acumen aims to address and mitigate. This organization aims to assist and equip these regions with the tools to escape and assist others in escaping extreme poverty.</div><div lang="en" dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; line-height: 1.4; direction: ltr; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">https://acumen.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/25174465382_01c4cf75ef_o.jpg</div>
