15. Impact of Innovation in Aid (Bill Gates speech G20, 2011)
• In the past 50 years, a billion people were saved from
starvation by advances in agriculture.
• Rate of child death has been cut by over 80 percent due
to advances in medicine and provision of health
services.
• Malaria deaths are down 20 percent globally in just 10
years.
• Scaling up basic health interventions will prevent 27
million child deaths by 2025

16. “Another kind of innovation—a
fundamental shift in the way we think
about development—will provide
amazing opportunities.” –Bill Gates at
G20 Summit, 2011

17. “It seems like we’re at an
inflection point in history. This is
the information revolution. It’s
crazy that every other field is
getting revolutionised except
education. I think it’s ripe for it.”
-Salman Khan, Khan Academy

and career opportunities opened up across the country, focusing particularly on
vulnerable communities. More than 21,000 people, 59 percent women, have already
been trained and 7,000 businesses developed, generating nearly 3,000 jobs.
• In Haiti, nearly 1,000 women completed vocational and professional training in
jewelry production and crafts, agriculture and construction thanks to a better access
to micro-credit and technical assistance. More than 500 new jobs were created, and
more than 750 microenterprises established.

Impossible is just a big word thrown
around by small men who find it easier
to live in the world they've been given
than to explore the power they have to
change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's
an opinion. Impossible is not a
declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is
potential. Impossible is temporary.
Impossible is nothing.
Muhammad Ali
