Women in Africa do not need charity to finance the issue. Control of the resources that they create is the issue, and respect in the financial sector… - Jennifer Riria

There are many poor people in Africa and the majority of them are women. We chose to work with women because they are the mainstay of the economy. We want women to transform the way the world works for them and their families. You cannot transform it for them but you can build their capacity to transform their own lives. That is what is sustainable.

I think one of the things that women suffer from is talking about themselves... We grow up to serve and never to think about ourselves. Women are the last to admit their accomplishments.

People should not become leaders so they can be worshipped by the people, but so that they can truly serve the people with commitment and with sincerity.
