One life is worth no more or less than any other

But iPods and iPhones are two things we don't get for our kids.

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.

If you invest in a girl or a woman, you are investing in everybody else.

Kids are falling through the cracks and nobody notices it. That to me is what's wrong with the school system.

If we don't empower women, we don't allow them to unlock the potential of themselves and their children.

Contraceptives unlock one of the most dormant, but potentially powerful assets in development: women as decision-makers. When women have the power to make choices about their families, they tend to decide precisely what demographers, economists, and development experts recommend. They invest in the long-term human capital of their families.
