I know that a mother, no matter how impoverished or uneducated, will do anything to save her babies.

You can't get rid of poverty by giving people money.

We will never end poverty if we don't tackle climate change.

We can't stop a baby in Africa from starving to death... but we can afford enough technology and weaponry to blow the world up a million times over.

I can't eradicate poverty, but at least for the people around me, I can help make sure no child is denied a dream.

Healthy children are born from healthy, respected, well-nourished and educated mothers and it is imperative that they have a voice in the decisions which affect them. If you empower a mother and let her have her say towards a poverty-free future, the positive impact this would have on ending hunger will be immense.

Poverty is not inevitable. It is a human ill that we can fight if we decide to do so together.

The best way to end poverty is to simply give people work, which isn't considered 'sexy' among donors who want to fund a preschool or cure a disease.

We know we cannot achieve our twin goals of ending poverty and boosting shared prosperity without ending poverty and creating equality for women and girls.

Making sure that mothers are educated means we can lift more people out of poverty and build a more inclusive and sustainable society.
