More quotes by 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
Housework comes first, so girls often fall behind in school. Global statistics show that it's increasingly girls, not boys, who don't know how to read.
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
Abortion has become a very politicised issue that I think countries have to work out themselves. In a lot of countries, people can't even yet agree on what their laws should be.
Melinda Gates
Microsoft certainly makes products for the Macintosh.

Think, for a moment, about our educational ladder. We've strengthened the steps lifting students from elementary school to junior high, and those from junior high to high school. But, that critical step taking students from high school into adulthood is badly broken. And it can no longer support the weight it must bear.
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 invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.
Melinda Gates
Everyone agrees that the failure of our high schools is tragic. It's bad business, and it's bad policy. But we act as if it can't be helped. It can be helped. We designed these high schools we can redesign them.
Melinda Gates
You can't save kids just with vaccines.
Melinda Gates
I'm constantly saying to myself, 'I'm lucky I was born in the United States.
Melinda Gates
If you want to lift up an economy in Africa, you basically start with the women.
Melinda Gates
I am inspired by the women I meet everywhere I go. They have to work so hard just to make sure their families survive, but somehow they stay optimistic and do everything in their power to make the future better than the past.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
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
Women and girls face a whole host of issues. We start with health, so we work very deeply on maternal deaths, making sure that a mom doesn't die in childbirth, making sure that she has access, for instance, to AIDS medication.
Melinda Gates
Sanitation issues in the developing world affect women more than they affect men.
Melinda Gates
We have to look at it country by country. In places like the developing world where, as you say, in Mumbai, it's about five hours' gap between what a woman does and a man does. You have to start by recognizing the problem and talking about it, trying to change those roles.
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.
