Acumen Fund Words of Wisdom

"Low-income people face a different set of constraints because of their economic situation, but they make decisions, like everyone, that are based on status and beauty and avoidance of risk, and not just 'what’s good for them.'"

THANK YOU for saying this, Acumen Fund. It is somehow forgotten way too often, whether it's by news sources or NGO marketing campaigns, that poor people are people too, with (and with the rights to have!) the same wants and desires, not just needs. It's what makes us all human.
