Empowering Individuals in the Global Community Through Entrepreneurship
Join us by spreading the word about microcredit and how it provides a poor women the opportunity to create or expand a home-based business to lift herself and her family out of poverty. Escaping poverty is escaping hunger, lack of clean water, sickness, lack of shelter, illiteracy, unemployment, fear and isolation.
Prosperity created by an impoverished entrepreneur's own hard work - no longer a beggar but a businesswoman - is freedom. Microcredit client businesses include neighborhood stores, weaving, sewing, raising chickens, pigs and cows, small-scale agriculture, pottery, artisan goods, prepared foods and more, and profits from these businesses are used to reinvest in supplies, food for the family, improved living conditions, and education for children.
Microcredit enables all of us - Whole Foods Market, shoppers, team members, suppliers, online donors, microfinance institutions and community partners - to join together and empower people living on USD $1-2 a day to change their own lives and lift themselves out of poverty.
Please help spread awareness, tell your friends, colleagues and family so they can in turn inspire others and we can support 40,000 people to create prosperity for themselves.
