| 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. |
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.
