2010 Toronto Microfinance Conference & Gala - moving out of poverty ...the micro way Woman borrowing funds for her business

I met a woman who borrowed $4. She had never seen $4 in her life. She bought a comb, a pair of scissors and a mirror and she put her husband in business as a barber. Now she has a home and her children are in school. All because of $4.

Join us and help end poverty!

Learn about microfinance — a broad range of financial services including deposits, loans, payment services, money transfers and insurance. It's also a global movement providing poor and low-income households with a way out of poverty through micro-enterprise. Over 250 people attended our first Conference in November 2009. Building on that success, we've added a Gala — the micro ball — and plan to share profits with our Microfinance Institution (MFI) Co-Hosts to further their work. Don't miss out on this important event. If you have questions contact: info@microfinanceconference.ca
