Sam Daley-Harris founded RESULTS in 1980 to create the political will to end global poverty and to assist individuals in having breakthroughs in exercising their personal and political power. In 1995 he founded the Microcredit Summit Campaign with a commitment to get microloans to 100 million of the world’s poorest families. After 12 years with the Campaign, Sam returned to RESULTS last year to focus on starting and empowering grassroots groups.
He has led 32 RESULTS Workshops in the last 18 months and will leader five more in October and November with an eye to starting or building RESULTS Groups that will create champions in Congress for the end of poverty. You are cordially invited to attend a workshop at Middlebury College

More on RESULTS:
In 2007, Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Muhammad Yunus said:
"From that day in 1987 when RESULTS arranged for me to talk by conference call to editorial writers in dozens of US cities, to the announcement of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006, no other organization has done more to put Grameen Bank on the map than RESULTS and RESULTS Educational Fund's Microcredit Summit Campaign.
"More importantly, no other organization has been as critical a partner in seeing to it that microcredit is used as a tool to eradicate poverty and empower women than RESULTS and RESULTS Educational Fund's Microcredit Summit Campaign."
