Helping Others Help Themselves By Ramya Chandrasekaran, Vidya Madhavan & Srisumeth Rittipairoj

irector of the Division of Environmental Conventions (DEC) of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Mr Bakary Kante, has lived his life doing what he wants to do. However, he is always thinking of ways to help people in his country have a better life. Since he joined QNet as an IR in May 2009, he has realised that this business can help him to help others. The chance to actually fulfil his dream came about when he was introduced to QNet by VC Asha Krishnan from Nairobi. “I first met Asha in Dubai more than a year ago. As a UN diplomat, I have to be very careful about my links and network. It is not easy for me to start any business. It took Asha about one year to persistently follow up with me until I signed up,” says Mr Kante. “The most important reason that brings me to QNet is its mission ‘Raise Yourself To Help Mankind’. I believe I am a very blessed and lucky person and there are lots of people in my country who are not as lucky as I am. I want to help these people, but I don’t have enough resources to meet their tremendous needs. I never imagined there could be a way that I could teach a lot of people to change other people’s lives and at the same time change their own, both financially and by living a healthy life. QNet is a wonderful tool. “Many people say that they joined QNet because of me. I think that it is an initial stage to help build their trust and belief. However, when they become a part of the company, they start to understand what QNet provides them. Later, they come back to thank me for introducing them to this great opportunity. This makes me very happy.”
