Information on Microfinance

focuses on microfinance because we believe it to be the most scaleable
and cost-effective tool to generate employment. The United Nations concurs
with our assessment: In General Assembly Resolution 52/194, the UN recognized
"microfinance's important contribution to the eradication of poverty
… and social upliftment [and] encourages all involved in poverty
eradication programmes to consider incorporating microcredit schemes in
their strategies."
