Adelante Foundation features a series of stories on their microfinance programs in Honduras on their relatively new blog. Meet members of the staff, volunteers and the local clients who are harnessing their microloans to build new businesses.

Hi! Welcome to my Microfinance blog. I am passionate about microfinance because it is one of the world’s best ways to fight poverty.
Many poor people are willing to work hard and have some creative ideas, but they are simply lacking capital to start a micro-business. A $50-100 loan can be enough to buy livestock, inventory for a small store, materials for a craft based business and other ventures. Microfinance has a very high re-payment rate around 98-99%.
Stay tuned as I explore and discuss microfinance. Please join in the dialog.
