More quotes by Melinda Gates
I learn in a different way. I learn experientially.
Melinda Gates
One life is worth no more or less than any other
Melinda Gates
Birth control has almost completely and totally disappeared from the global health agenda, and the victims of this paralysis are the people of Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
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
We set out what's going to be our work time versus our foundation time versus family time, and we'll reassess that... sometimes every week.
Melinda Gates
When I look at 225 million women who want contraceptives, and then I look at the 52 million unintended pregnancies that could be avoided by addressing this unmet need, where can we have the biggest impact with our voice, our dollars, our partners? It's on contraceptives. I would rather address the problem upstream.
Melinda Gates
Around the world we have girls in primary school at about the same rate now as boys, but keeping them in quality secondary schools is where the world is lagging. I'm seeing a lot of countries look at this now.
Melinda Gates
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
Connect deeply with others. Our humanity is the one thing that we all have in common.
Melinda Gates
You can't save kids just with vaccines.
Melinda Gates
If you don't have an effective teacher in front of the classroom, you won't change the trajectory for students.
Melinda Gates
I realized that the only way to get into a good college was to be valedictorian or salutatorian. So that was my goal.
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
With economic opportunity, sometimes it's making sure that if they're not in a place where they can have good jobs, that when they have economic opportunity, they have digital tools to use.
Melinda Gates
That's universal - we all want to bring every good thing to our children. But what's not universal is our ability to provide every good thing.
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
In the developing world, it's about time that women are on the agenda. For instance, 80 percent of small-subsistence farmers in sub-Saharan Africa are women, and yet all the programs in the past were predominantly focused on men.
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
Women around the world should have a tool that helps them plan their pregnancies.
Melinda Gates
When we invest in women and girls, we are investing in the people who invest in everyone else.
Melinda Gates
