But Ethiopia is also a place where lasting solutions to child marriage are starting to make a difference  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) What keeps me motivated is going out to the field and seeing programs that incorporate a focus on both people and the planet, and seeing how mutually reinforcing they can really be  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) Any discussion of investment or putting monetary value on the environment must start with the populations who rely on those resources  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) The environmental community has an opportunity to create and leverage partnerships with the development community on social issues, rather than trying to develop new expertise of its own  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) The environmental movement could do a better job incorporating the message about the connection between poverty and environmental degradation, and building that message at the grassroots level  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) The difference between rich and poor is becoming more extreme, and as income inequality widens the wealth gap in major nations, education, health and social mobility are all threatened  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) There is no doubt that a woman’s economic empowerment is very much interconnected to her health and the well being of her children  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) You can’t marginalize more than half of the globe’s population and expect to see any meaningful solutions to the problems that ail the world  (Helene D Gayle Quotes) Early marriage is most prevalent in communities suffering deep, chronic poverty  (Helene D Gayle Quotes)
