More quotes by Melinda Gates
Sanitation issues in the developing world affect women more than they affect men.
Melinda Gates
I care much more about saving the lives of mothers and babies than I do about a fancy museum somewhere.
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
If we don't empower women, we don't allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.
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
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
Bill and I both firmly believe that even the most difficult global health problems can be solved.
Melinda Gates
You are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
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
When we invest in women, we invest in a powerful source of global development
Melinda Gates
We have to be careful in how we use this light shined on us.
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.
Melinda Gates
In the United States, there's definitely some controversy about birth control in general, and I think we needed to split the debate and have people realize that we actually agree as a country about contraceptives. Over 93 percent of American women say they use contraceptives, and they feel very good about it.
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
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
It is still just unbelievable to us that diarrhea is one of the leading causes of child deaths in the world.
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
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
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
Women and girls should be able to determine their own future, no matter where they're born.
