Very small investments can release the infinite potential that lies in all of us.

When we deny the poor and the vulnerable their own human dignity and capacity for freedom and choice, it becomes self-denial. It becomes a denial of both our collective and individual dignity, at all levels of society.
Jacqueline Novogratz
I have seen that traditional approaches to charity and aid don't solve problems of poverty. In fact, too often they create dependence.
Jacqueline Novogratz
We often don't realize what our action & our inaction do to people we think we will never see & never know.
