Microfinance-Changing the World One Little Loan at a Time
Fans of Margaret Wheatley, our community-wide Conversation Cafe presenter in 2006, heard about Nobel Prize winner Muhammad Yunus and his microfinance program at the Grameen Bank. Megan was there and was inspired to take action! She will share information on this economic development approach and how it provides access to credit and employment for low-income people. It is a powerful tool that empowers women, combats poverty, supports environmental sustainability and facilitates social change in the developing world. Come learn how microfinance works and how you can get involved. www.kiva.org

Megan is a senior majoring in Economics and International Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. She is an intern for Envest, a microfinance investment company, and is the founder of the Microfinance Leadership Initiative, a UW student organization seeking to educate the community about microfinance.
