More quotes by Melinda Gates
One life is worth no more or less than any other
Melinda Gates
Vaccines are a miracle cure. Eight out of 10 children are getting vaccines.
Melinda Gates
Women are the centre of the family. It's the woman who decides what's eaten in the house, when to have the kids vaccinated everything that has to do with the children's health revolves around her.
Melinda Gates
Helping people doesn't have to be an unsound financial strategy.
Melinda Gates
Even in decision-making, we work in self-help groups. That is women coming together in small groups of 10 to sometimes 15 women, where they start to get education about their rights, about clean water and sanitation, about how to have a healthy birth. You can bring in all kinds of education to them that way.
Melinda Gates
When girls are educated and free to pursue their passions, they contribute more to a thriving society. When women have a voice, they raise it to demand a life that is greater than what they've been told they have a right to expect. And these demands change the future for everyone.
Melinda Gates
[Bill Gates] wanted me to stay working at Microsoft, but I didn't think he could be CEO and we could have the family life that we both had growing up, which is what we envisioned. I knew I would go back to work at some point later to some profession. I just didn't know what.
Melinda Gates
Women and girls should be able to determine their own future, no matter where they're born.
Melinda Gates
As a parent, the responsible thing to do - if you love your child - is to vaccinate your child.
Melinda Gates
We started our foundation because we believe we have a real opportunity to help advance equity around the world, to help make sure that, no matter where a person is born, he or she has the chance to live a healthy, productive life.
Melinda Gates
Government funding that's coming from the United States is making a huge difference on the ground in the developing world. It's really palpable - it's making a huge difference saving lives.
Melinda Gates
We also ought to recognize that unpaid labor falls predominantly to women. The other thing I would do in countries like the U.S. is to show more men, even in TV ads, doing household work. Only two percent of ads show men doing chores, and yet we know they actually do several hours of it in real life. Those images affect young boys and girls.
Melinda Gates
My background was computer science and business school, so eventually I worked my way up where I was running product groups - development, testing, marketing, user education.
Melinda Gates
Make sure you continue to trust what you know now about yourself and stay true to what you believe in
Melinda Gates
Take time to learn about the lives of women around the world-and try to play a small part in their fight to create the future they deserve.
Melinda Gates
If you can't go to secondary school, the boys get to go and the girls don't, you're locked into a cycle of poverty, because you don't have a chance.
Melinda Gates
I learn in a different way. I learn experientially.
Melinda Gates
Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.
Melinda Gates
Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio.
Melinda Gates
If you don't invest in the woman, empower her, give her the things she needs to lift her family up, you're just not going to make the progress that you want to make. But if you put her at the centre, you can change a lot for that family, and it has ripple effects through the economy.
