Business Push Benefits Poor

"The current issue of Development Outreach magazine showcases how forward-looking companies are reaching out to the four billion or so people who make do with incomes of less than $5 a day.

"The magazine captures the experiences of companies engaging with the poor, presenting a dozen case studies, including Unilever's Project Shakti network of women entrepreneurs, CEMEX's Patrimonio Hoy initiative, which provides housing to low-income communities in Mexico, and Nestlé’s Milk District model."

Comment: I keep suggesting to young people seeking careers that will help to alleviate poverty in the developing world that the best opportunities over the next decades might well be in the private sector. JAD
