Sustainable Brands
This is one of a series of interviews that started when Rosie Warin, CEO of culture and communications agency Kin&Co, began having conversations with high–profile, values–driven leaders of the ‘purpose revolution’ about the future of leadership. Each explores how these leaders got to where they are now, and what they think the future of values–driven leadership looks like.

Women want a hand up, not hand-outs
World Economic Forum (WEF) Blog
I recently had the honour of meeting Lilian, a beverage distributor from Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, and her 12 year-old daughter, Angel. In the short time spent with them, I found in Lilian one of the most ambitious, hard-working women I had ever met. Her love for her daughter is a driving force in her life, along with her desire to raise Angel to be a successful, empowered woman.
Lilian is not alone in this.

In the short time spent with them, I found in Lilian one of the most ambitious, hard-working women I had ever met. Her love for her daughter is a driving force in her life, along with her desire to raise Angel to be a successful, empowered woman.
Lilian is not alone in this. Women worldwide invest 90% of their income in their families and communities. Those are great investments. According to the World Bank, increasing the income of women in emerging economies accelerates community development and leads to better child survival rates, nutrition and education.
While women do two-thirds of the world’s work, they earn only 10% of the world’s income, depriving families of the resources they need to break the cycle of poverty and lift up their kids to a better life.
Women who live that statistic face so many challenges. Take water – the World Health Organization reports that among families without a source of drinking water, women are disproportionately responsible for water collection. Globally, women spend an estimated 200 million hours every day simply collecting water. That is a gender gap. To provide safe water to those families is a simple and straightforward way to close that gap, freeing women for more meaningful and productive work.

The acronym that can fix America’s youth unemployment problem
The Washington Post
If you spend even a little time at a U.S. school, you can’t miss the excitement and sense of what’s possible in the eyes of our students. The enthusiastic and creative ways they play, embrace problem solving and learn is inspiring.
Yet these very spirits who hold the greatest hope for our nation aren’t being given the full training they need to thrive in a rapidly evolving world that demands science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) skills.

The Economic Risks of a Water Constrained World
GreenBiz
The economic slump still with us after several punishing years is largely rooted in living beyond our means -- too much spending and not enough money in the bank to cover people's expectations for the future.
Tackling this disconnect is a well-worn battle cry by now in the financial markets. But it is also taking root in a far more precious and increasingly-scarce resource: fresh water.

Tackling this disconnect is a well-worn battle cry by now in the financial markets. But it is also taking root in a far more precious and increasingly-scarce resource: fresh water. If investors and companies do not plan for this already unfolding global threat, they are as vulnerable as overextended banks were when subprime mortgages and housing markets collapsed.
