“If you can double a woman’s income, through access to her own source of income, like entrepreneurship, then not only do you pull her and her family out of poverty, but you accelerate how you move the needle on preventing early marriage, on increasing nutrition, on accessing primary health, on conservation or climate resilience.”
– Deepti Mathew, CEO Street Business School
