Review for Womens Microfinance Initiative Corporation, Bethesda, MD, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

This is a very innovative program that really helps to end the cycle of poverty in the communities served. The programs grow at a rate that is sustainable and repeatable. The program has grown in new directions because it is run by the people being served. As the program grows more people are helped and as more people are helped, more people can be served. This is truly a very sustainable model that does not seek to replace the existing financial markets that already exist; rather this model seeks to build a bridge to the existing financial marketplace for the people who never were allowed access.
