PBSP
is one of the best examples in the world of a business-led
partnership that is tackling the problems of poverty at both
the grassroots and strategic policy levels.” |
“Wherever
PBSP goes, it brings with it opportunities otherwise inconceivable
among people bereft of choices. The citations that we receive
we owe to them. More than anything, they validate our core
purpose: to continue enriching the lives of our beneficiaries
as well as the experiences of our partners.”
