In her speech, she tells the audience that how she helped to goat herders by lending them a few hundred dollars. She argues that the people did not want charity from her but, they did accept micro loans to reformed what they liked to do. She says, “ I never once was asked for a donation, which had kind of been my mode, right. There's poverty, you give money to help -- no one asked me for a donation.
