We discussed microfinance and its impact on women earlier in
the project. Even more than creating income, a microfinance business can help a
woman to become an economic, as well as political and social leader, within her
village. I’d like to share two videos with you highlighting microfinance: the
first is from the Kiva Microfund Organization; the second is from the Grameen Bank, the organization established by the winner of the 2006 Nobel
Prize, Muhammad Yunus:
As you can see, a small donation can help start a sustainable business for a woman in a developing nation. Women can learn how to run a business with an education; furthermore, with additional income, a woman can send her children to school and create a cycle of education and income.
