Author: Leila Janah

Editor’s note: despite trillions of dollars in Western aid, 2.8 billion people worldwide still struggle in abject poverty. Yet the world’s richest countries continue to send money – mostly to governments – targeting the symptoms, rather than the root causes of poverty. We need a better solution.

For any entrepreneur who wants to change the world and make the world a better place, Give Work book by Leila Janah is a must read. Not only it will inspire you but also it will give you practical examples how you can transform lives and end poverty.
