Review for Womens Microfinance Initiative Corporation, Bethesda, MD, USA
I am a volunteer for WMI and help organize the book drives that are helping create a lending library in a small village in Uganda and other villages in that region.

I have watched WMI grow over the past 3-4 years and have been amazed at the impact one organization can have in transforming the lives of women and families.
