Sarah Symons started Her Future Coalition in 2005 with her husband John Berger. Since 2005 Her Future Coalition has been creating powerful and positive change in the lives of survivors of gender violence and girls at the highest risk.
They break the cycle of poverty and exploitation by providing Education – and a full range of services that support education – to survivors and the most vulnerable girls in India and Nepal.
Previous to that, she was a composer of music for TV and film, and before that, a counselor and art teacher at Creative Arts Workshops in New York City.
