Microfinance and microcredit

Archive for the ‘From the field’ Category

I´ve been talking earlier about Kiva.org as a channel between funds, microfinance institutions and entrepreneurs. And finally i´m also a proud lender, one hour ago i started with a small loan of $25 to a group working with animal sales in Uganda! It´s a big group of entrepreneurs that wants to expand their business in selling goats, i wish them luck and hopefully their complete loanrequest is raised soon.

On the Accion webpage you can find videos that presents the work in bringing financial services to the poor. The videoclips are from areas in the U.S., Peru, Uganda and Tanzania. You find introduction videos, a how to set up MFI-video, microentrepreneus telling their story and about the partners in the microfinance industry.
