The environmental movement could do a better job incorporating the message about the connection between poverty and environmental degradation, and building that message at the grassroots level.

As many as half of Ethiopias girls become wives before becoming adults. But Ethiopia is also a place where lasting solutions to child marriage are starting to make a difference.

Early marriage is most prevalent in communities suffering deep, chronic poverty.

If you educate a girl, you educate a nation.

No matter how you measure it, women and girls bear the brunt of poverty. But it's also clear that women are also our greatest hope for ending it. We at CARE have long believed that if you change the life of a girl or woman, you don't just change that individual, you change her family and then her community.

Learn to forgive yourself and move on.

We always say at CARE that we would love to see if we can work ourselves out of business.
