Micro-loans and Empowerment.
My friend Tim wrote about the power of micro-credit and the poor and some really cool women volunteering in ways that change others’ destinies. This idea of little loans intrigues me….in one sense it’s debt and encouraging others to use it. But in another, these are really small loans that radically change another’s life and empower them to change the tide of their lives. At any rate, it’s certainly not “credit” the way we typically think of it in the west. It leads me more to think of “little is much” or “a little goes a long way” and of “angels in our midst”.
