Recommended ReadingRead the RESULTS Story
In Reclaiming Our Democracy, RESULTS/REF founder Sam Daley-Harris takes readers on his journey of creating a remarkable new organization based on the realization that it would take citizens advocating for the end of hunger and poverty for political leaders to take action. The model he created was unique — training and supporting ordinary people to take powerful actions. The results have been extraordinary. Through stories of personal challenge and triumph, Sam shares his vision of participatory democracy — democracy “as if people mattered.” Call the RESULTS office at (202) 783-7100 to order your copy or e-mail us at results@results.org. $5.00. Read the Microcredit Story
Nobel laureate and RESULTS/REF board member describes the birth of microcredit in this inspiring and readable book. It all began with a $27 loan to 42 women in Bangladesh. With these microloans, the women bought simple supplies like bamboo to make and sell stools, and in the process freed themselves from moneylenders and their families from poverty. Our Newsletter — The RESULTS AdvocateRead about our ongoing campaigns, our latest successes, and personal stories of how RESULTS empowers ordinary people to become extraordinary voices for the end of poverty. |
