Microcredit has helped millions of poor people in developing countries, but they remain at the mercy of a death or serious injury of a family member, the loss of a crop or livestock, or a natural disaster. By creating a wider range of better targeted products such as micro-insurance, the poor will have the ability to protect their assets. His Highness the Aga Khan, Geneva, 22 February 2005
