I think microfinance is a great tool to empower the citizens of the world.
I was a Kiva Fellow in Peru in 2008 and had an incredible experience learning about and from the women microentrepreneurs of Manuela Ramos. Check out my personal blog from Peru below.
About me:
I currently work for TransFair USA, the Fair Trade organization in the United States. Fair Trade Certification empowers farmers and farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their farms and communities, protecting the environment, and developing the business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.
