Microcredit

In the season of giving I wanted to share with you another article about Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus.

"Microcredit, the system he devised to extend small loans so the poor could start their own businesses, has expanded into the success story in the war on poverty and a vital instrument to promote sustainable peace in afflicted areas"
-Juriiaan Kamp and Marco Visscher

I find it helpful and inspiring to read about the ways in which our world is changing for the better and to recognize the stages of change. Understanding how we slowly embrace change is important in the big and little changes we can effect in our own lives and the lives of those around us.

Microcredit is one example of how to support others by giving them an opportunity to develop their own worth.
