Program HighlightsWhy it's OK to make a profit when helping the poor. Creating financially sustainable sources for critical goods and services. Two-thirds of the world's four billion people earn less than $4 per day. Yet, due to lack of supply and inadequate distribution, these same individuals often pay higher prices for essential services such as clean water and health care. Jacqueline Novogratz explains how entrepreneurial systems that apply the rigors and discipline of the marketplace can gradually make inroads on this seemingly overwhelming challenge. Rather than spending our philanthropic dollars on give-away programs that don't solve problems over the long run, Novogratz details successful projects that have applied proven business practices to achieve measurable results in some of the world's most desperate regions.
