Brief Biographical Sketch:
As some one who has spent a good amount of time traveling and living in developing countries, I have seen first hand the need for microfinance. The quest for economic growth starts with a number of places, one being the countries' entrepreneurs. Microfinance is a sustainable way to supply needed capital to those people who can help grow businesses, generate income, and create jobs. Using the theories of finance and economics to alleviate poverty is such an exciting and powerful tool! Past Classes(Look at the class archive for more.)Little Money, Lots of Change in Splash!

Ever heard of Microfinance? Probably not. But microfinance helps millions of people all over the world. Basically, it is a way to use economics and the basics of banking to loan people enough money to build their own businesses. This way, microfinance plays a significant role in helping to alleviate poverty.
