Rural Well-Being

Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest human whom you have seen and ask yourself if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to self reliance for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Mahatma Gandhi Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it is the only thing that ever has. Margaret Mead All the evidence tells us that not to empower women is a tragically missed opportunity, not only to create a more just and more prosperous society, but also to advance rural well-being. James D. Wolfensohn
