About this blog

  • Thinking Ethics was a project launched in Geneva to foster the debate about ethics. A few friends, fed up with only reading about abuses in the media, decided to hold a forward-looking seminar on five subjects: ethics and performance, ethics and knowledge, ethics and consciousness, ethics and disobedience and ethics in real time. If moral has to do with right and wrong, then ethics is its application in society. We believe that people need to talk about the subject to determine the level of ethics they want. The book Thinking Ethics, a result of the seminar, is to start the discussion. This blog is a contribution to the conversation.

Women in philanthropy

We know about the success of microcredit, and the strong repayment rate  (over 98%) if the loans are given to women. The results on  children's education and raising the family out of poverty have been phenomenal.

Less known is the increase of women investing in other women via philanthropic funds. This trend is growing, even in these hard economic times. very interesting article by Betsy Brill in Forbes Magazine here.
