Economic Opportunity in Burundi [z]

micro-finance

<  back

Millions of the world's poorest - mostly women - who are unable to provide the necessary collateral to secure a traditional loan are turning to microcredit institutions for help. These institutions give "micro" loans, often for less than $100, to those for whom the entrepreneurial spirit is still in its purest, most basic form. Whether it's through milking a buffalo, selling tortillas, or weaving cloth, most borrowers are able to pay back their loans - and have enough profits to reinvest in their businesses, their homes, and their children.
