Eradicating Global Poverty, One Small Loan at a Time 

Based on the principles of self-help and free enterprise, microfinance is a
proven methodology for breaking the cycle of poverty by granting small
loans to help local people develop businesses and thus become self-sufficient and
improve their standard of living. 

 

Attend this conference to learn more about
microfinance initiatives throughout the world and how you can get involved.
