Poverty is too complex to be answered with a one-size-fits-all approach, and if there is any place that illustrates that complexity, as well as a better way forward, it is Rwanda.

Nothing important happens in life without a cost.

I've heard it said that the most dangerous animal on the planet is the adolescent male.

There is power in creating a small model, and then you can create an alliance of other small models.

There are probably no more market-oriented individuals on the planet, than low income people.

I have also been touched by the dark side of power and leadership.

So many low income people have seen so many failed promises broken and seen so many quacks and sporadic medicines offered to them that building trust takes a lot of time, takes a lot of patience.
