President Bill Clinton's Photos - President Clinton in Malawi

This past Friday, President Clinton visited Mchinji, Malawi, where the Clinton Hunter Development Initiative (CHDI) is helping rural communities improve their incomes through an anchor farm project and community reforestation project. He met with farmers who have been provided with access to improved soy seed, training and monitoring of advanced agronomic techniques, and access to a domestic, bulk buyer of soy—as well as their families. He also visited with some of the farmers who have planted more than 1.9 million trees planted, which will sequester more than 248,000 tons of carbon dioxide equivalents.

Bill Clinton Deadline extended

We are so close to President Clinton's goal of raising $150,000 for our lifesaving work in Africa and around the world.

But in today's world, the need for our work is urgent and growing. President Clinton asked me to extend his offer to match your gift for one more day -- so that until midnight tonight, for every dollar you give, he'll give one of his own.

Statement by President Bill Clinton on the Passing of Senator Robert C. Byrd

I am deeply saddened by the passing of my friend Senator Robert Byrd, whose record-breaking service greatly advanced America’s pursuit of a more perfect union. Senator Byrd was the most respected authority on the rules of Congress, the Constitution, and the history of the Senate. No American leader has shown more reverence for history, for learning its lessons, and for applying them in representative government. He set an incredible example of lifetime learning – earning his college degree in his thirties and getting his law degree while in Congress, at a time when he already knew more about the law than most lawyers in the country. He wasn’t afraid to learn from his mistakes or to change his mind on an issue when he felt he had been wrong. He was justly proud ......

NECN/CNN: Johannesburg, South Africa) - Former President Bill Clinton at the Global Economic Forum in South Africa described the potential threat in Iran's becoming a nuclear power.

"The major danger of Iran becoming a nuclear power, the material they would have to amass to make these bombs will become the juiciest target in the world for non-state actors who would like to have suitcase nuclear bombs," Clinton said. "Will they sell it to them? Will they give it to them? Can it be stolen by some corrupt person in the supply chain?"

As my eleventh trip to Africa comes to a close, I’ve been moved by the people I’ve met and the stories I’ve heard – from a family receiving maternal and infant health care services in Tanzania to the smallholder farmers planting tree saplings in Malawi. This trip has reminded me of the importance of our continued commitment to help the people of Africa realize a better future. It’s a privilege to do this work.

William J Clinton Foundation gets results!!!!

When he arrives here tomorrow, President Clinton will see firsthand the progress we've made since his last visit in 2007 -- but also the incredible need to continue our work with as much global support as possible.

From agriculture and healthcare to clean water and sanitation, we are matching the talent, aspirations, and hard work of locals with opportunities to move their communities out of poverty.

Our work in Malawi touches the lives of nearly 900,000 people across the Dowa, Neno and Mchinji districts, but the Clinton Foundation's commitment spans the continent:
Developing sustainable soy-processing and coffee-roasting businesses in Rwanda with local investors that will help improve the lives of some 40,000 farmers.
Building the first modern integrated waste system in Lagos, which will divert 180,000 tons of waste from landfills and reduce greenhouse gas by 95,000 metric cubic tons per year.
Planting 2.5 million fruit and forest trees in Rwanda to combat deforestation and global warming.
Renovating Rwinkwavu Hospital in Rwanda into a fully functioning District Hospital that now serves 265,000 people.

Rep. Yvette D. Clarke Applauds Former President Clinton's Haitian Small Business Investment Fund

“I applaud former President Clinton for engaging Messrs. Slim and Guistra in this generous effort. As a Member of the House Small Business Committee and long time advocate for investments in indigenous Haitian businesses, I recognize the tremendous impact a loan fund such as this can have on Haiti’s economy,” said Rep. Clarke. H.R. 4961 would authorize create a Haitian American Enterprise Fund to invest in Haitian small businesses.

“I am pleased that former President Clinton and international economic leaders recognize the vital importance of investments in small businesses as a means to support the Haitian recovery effort. I will continue to advocate for the creation of a Haitian American Enterprise Fund to compliment and buttress the new Clinton/Slim/Guistra fund. Haiti needs job creation and economic development and I will continue to fight for more investment in Haiti’s long term economic growth,” Rep. Clarke concluded.

When I made my first trip to sub-Saharan Africa in 1998, I saw the people of Uganda working to turn the tide of AIDS. I saw citizens once divided by apartheid working together to build democracy in South Africa. I saw women across the continent starting businesses. And I felt a strong connection to all of humanity and the future we share.

This experience left an indelible mark on my life and my presidency and continues to inspire my Foundation's work in Africa. Next week, I'll make my 11th trip to the continent.

Bill Clinton: Another comeback for Comeback Kid

Democratic candidates up and down the ballot are requesting his help, seeking his backslapping politicking and high-dollar fundraising prowess. And there's little doubt that this political creature is basking in the attention, if not coveting the opportunity to campaign for Democrats where President Barack Obama may not be as welcome.

"He is very effective," said retiring Democratic Rep. Vic Snyder of Arkansas, who praised Clinton's understanding that the party should be a big tent. Still, Snyder added: "He recognizes he's not effective everywhere, and there are some places where he plays better than others."

Just like there are some places where Obama plays better than others.

Initiative Brief: Reducing Childhood Obesity Through a Focus on Schools as Part of a Multi-Sectoral Approach

Childhood obesity is one of our nation’s leading health threats. Today, nearly one in three children and youth is already overweight or obese. The obesity epidemic is clearly taking its toll, as more and more kids are developing conditions and diseases that we would normally associate with adults—like high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, and type-2 diabetes. Some experts believe that if the childhood obesity trend continues, this current generation may become the first in American history to live shorter lives than their parents.
