It&#8217;s also an opportunity to reflect on how\u2014despite incredible success\u2014we can do more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have never been more excited about this moment in history. We have not yet realized the full potential for microfinance because the systems and tools of the past few decades were not designed to sustainably scale our business model. But things are different now. In just the past few years, global technology and infrastructure have caught up to the abiding promise we have made to the world&#8217;s most disadvantaged people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a promise we intend to keep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have the opportunity\u2014and the moral obligation\u2014to ensure that the progress we make in the coming years surpasses what we\u2019ve achieved in the past 40.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is, indeed, an exciting time.
