Bill and I both firmly believe that even the most difficult global health problems can be solved.

Mothers might say they'd go to the doctor. In poor countries, moms are usually responsible for their kids' health. But breastfeeding and traveling to the clinic take time, and research shows that health care is one of the first tradeoffs women make when they're too busy.

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.

When we invest in women, we invest in a powerful source of global development

Now, as smartphones are coming up, there are all kinds of apps that will start to be developed that will help women.

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.

Sometimes it's the people you can't help who inspire you the most.
