"The poor stay poor, not because they are lazy,
but because they have no access to Capital"
Milton Friedman, Economist and Noble Prize

"Micro Credit is a critical anti-poverty tool.
A wise investment in human capital.
When the poorest, especially women, receive credit,
they become economic actors with power,
Power not only to improve their own lives, but that of others
The poor stay poor, not because they are lazy but because
they have no access to capital."
Kofi Annan, Secretary General, UN
"Be the Change, you want to see in this world"
Mahatma Gandhi
