Are you
moved to act on extreme global poverty?
Have you heard about the positive difference microfinance
(a.k.a., “microcredit”) makes in the lives of the economically
impoverished? Do you
want to learn more and know
how you can act in ways that are effective, responsible and lasting?
If so, this conference is for you!
The 2009 Pacific
Northwest Microfinance Conference is a
collaborative event that seeks to deepen knowledge, connect
people, and mobilize action toward developing lasting solutions
to global poverty.
|
The current global economic
crisis threatens to have a devastating impact on
economically impoverished people around the globe.
While caring about others when we are fearful about our
own situations seems counter-intuitive, true tests of
our compassion come during troubling times. |
