    Muhammad Yunus
    “When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it.

Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.”
