TW – POVERTY AWARENESS QUOTE 11

Wednesday, January 24, 2024

“If you go out into the real world, you cannot miss seeing that the poor are poor not because they are untrained or illiterate but because they cannot retain the returns of their labor. They have no control over capital, and it is the ability to control capital that gives people the power to rise out of poverty.” – Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty

"A social business is a non-loss, non-dividend enterprise, created with the intention to do good to people, to bring positive changes to the world, without any short-term expectation of making money out of it... So I'm just describing a framework in which people can express themselves, by creating social businesses, to address such issues as poverty, child labor, homelessness, the environment- anything we see that needs to be changed in order to have a better world. We don't have to put everything on the shoulders of the government. Governments are limited; they cannot do everything, and we have responsibilities as citizens. Social business is one way we can address them."

Muhammad Yunus
