Review for Womens Microfinance Initiative Corporation, Bethesda, MD, USA
Women's Microfinance Initiative has made small loans to over 1000 women in rural villages in Uganda and Kenya, allowing the women to start their own businesses to support their families. WMI has also helped to build a community center in Byobo which houses a meeting room, a library and a computer center. One of WMI's greatest features is its goal to help the women graduate from microfinance loans to a banking relationship with a local financial institution.
