Micro-Lending Seminar - Did you know that almost half the world - over three billion people - lives on less than $2.50 a day? (www.globalissues.org/article/26/poverty-facts-and-stats)
Did you serve a mission in a country where you wish you could have helped the people get out of poverty?
This is a huge problem in the world and one of the best ways to compete against it is through micro-lending. Come and learn how you can be a part of the solution and help people to become self sufficient.
