“Poor people in poor countries are not asking for a handout. What they want is a hand up.
Indeed, the poor are enormous, untapped reservoirs of initiative and entrepreneurship, but their energies are often held in check by poverty, misrule or conflict. They would be the first to say that trade, not aid, is the path out of poverty.” United Nations Secretary-General, Kofi Annan.
