In San Diego? Join Oikocredit for on Event on Social Investing with Oikocredit on July 15

July 8, 2010 No Comments

Oikocredit USA and its volunteers are launching a grassroots campaign to invest in people, because we know that the world’s poor don’t lack ability – they lack opportunity. Through financing, the poor gain vital access to credit. When given an opportunity to start small businesses, our borrowers in the poorest regions of the world thrive with incredible success, repaying the loans at astonishing rates and providing investors with a stable rate of return on investment.

Oikocredit is a pioneer in microfinance – for 35 years we have built a social vision that connects lenders to borrowers to create lasting change.

Social Investing with Oikocredit USA

When: July 15th from 6:00-8:00 P.M.
