Don’t Look Back: The David Bussau Story.
How an Abandoned Child Became a Champion of the Poor
(Published by Allen and Unwin, 2004)
Don’t Look Back is the story of one man’s journey from unwanted child to global innovator in poverty alleviation. David took his very practical experience as a builder and small business owner, mixed it with compassion for the poor and vulnerable, and invented a system that developed to become one of the earliest examples of modern micro-finance.
This story is his walk, the accumulation of understanding through hardship and independence, and his discovery of a practical way to cut through traditional development to help foster independence and dignity in those he sought to help. His pioneering work contributed to the establishment of OpportunityInternational,one of the leading global micro-finance providers, with some six million borrowers.
