Jacqueline Novogratz talks about the work she has done in creating real change in poverty in Africa and around the world. Watch the video here.
Quote from her lecture:
"We so often don't realize what our action and inactions does to people we think we will never see and never know."
"4 billion people on Earth make less than $4 a day."
"A couple of principles [of microfinance]: Build small, make it infinitely expandable, and affordable to the poor."
[about Malaria bednets] "$5 save a life. Malaria is a disease that kills 1-3 million people a year...We can send people to the moon, we can see if there is life on Mars, why can't we get $5 nets to 500 million people?"
