The Blue Sweater is a memoir by Jacqueline Novogratz that combines personal narrative with a broader argument about poverty, philanthropy, and social entrepreneurship. It traces her path from a career in international banking to her work in Africa and the eventual founding of Acumen, a nonprofit impact investing organization. Rather than presenting charity as the main answer to poverty, the book explores how capital, patience, and dignity can support people in building sustainable lives. The title comes from Novogratz’s experience in Rwanda, where she saw a boy wearing a blue sweater she had once given away, an event that became a symbol of global interconnectedness. The book is both a record of one woman’s evolving worldview and a case for new models of development that move beyond short-term aid.
