Micro-finance is considered one of the most effective and flexible strategies in the fight against global poverty. Micro-finance consists of making small loans, usually less than $200, to individuals, usually women, to establish a small, self-sustaining business.

Micro-loans to women have been
proven a huge success. Women are more likely to reinvest their earnings in their families, thus lifting their children out of destitution. When you give a woman a micro-loan, you change her world and the future of the
next generation.
