Melinda Gates
If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.

It's really one of my all-time favorite things to do. To go out and really see the kids and visit the moms who are in these programs because I think I really get to see what happens on the ground and connect with them about what changes are that happen in their lives because of some of the giving that we're able to do.
Melinda Gates
Human-centered design. Meeting people where they are and really taking their needs and feedback into account. When you let people participate in the design process, you find that they often have ingenious ideas about what would really help them. And it’s not a onetime thing it’s an iterative process.
Melinda Gates

Melinda Gates
The biggest pieces of work that we do are vaccines, because those save lives, and also family planning. Because if a woman can space the births of her children, it changes everything for her health and her child's health.
Melinda Gates
I learn in a different way. I learn experientially.
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

One life is worth no more or less than any other
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
I think it's very important that we instill in our kids that it has nothing to do with their name or their situation that they're growing up in it has to do with who they are as an individual.
Melinda Gates
The biggest killers of children around the world are two things: diarrhea and pneumonia. When you think about it, in the United States, kids don't die of diarrhea anymore, but it's a huge problem in the developing world.
