Women's Village Banking is a self-help program, not a hand out. Our experience and research clearly demonstrate that the poor are highly motivated and committed to improving their standard of living, especially for their children. They simply need an opportunity to succeed without charity. Our goals in the coming year are to continue to grow the scale of village banking programs, to increase Partners' access to credit funds, and to expand the Partnership to Nicaragua, the second poorest country in our hemisphere. The gap between rich and poor, North and South, continues to widen.
Poverty is the world's leading cause of death.
We believe that Women's Village Banking is a powerful anti-poverty tool and that this program capitalizes on people's irrepressible drive and innate capacity to succeed, for themselves and for their children. Women's Village Banking is a trade name of the Katalysis Partnership . Women's Village Banking depends upon public support to continue its work.
