Microfinance

While reading a paper on Micro Finance in the Journal of Corporate Finance, I suddenly realized how closely connected this area is to my long-term dream.

I have therefore decided to promote awareness among the readers about Unitus. I am reproducing the mission statement of Unitus from their website:

Our mission is to fight global poverty by increasing access to microfinance.

Unitus envisions a world where microfinance is available to every individual. We work toward this vision by accelerating the growth of the world's highest-potential emerging microfinance institutions. We provide capital investments and capacity-building consulting, thus empowering these organizations to scale and provide life-changing financial services to dramatically more of the world's working poor.

  1. I recently came across Unitus as well and was impressed that they are only one of seven international non-profits who received both the Social Capitalist Award from Fast Company Magazine and a 4-Star Rating from Charity Navigator. I'm proud to call myself a supporter of Unitus.
