Dignity is more important to the human spirit than wealth

We created Acumen Fund to find the enterprises, leaders and ideas that would create more dignity and more choice, unleashing more of the human energy behind all lasting solutions – that of the people who face poverty and yearn to solve their own problems.

This is from a blog post by Jacqueline Novogratz, founder of the Acumen Fund, reflecting upon their ten year anniversary.

I thoroughly enjoyed Jacqueline’s book ‘The Blue Sweater’ documenting her work and I am a big fan of the work the Acumen Fund is doing.

If you’re looking for a great organisation working with those in poverty to support, the Acumen Fund is well worth checking out.
