For most of us, a dollar a day is very little. A coffee may cost $3+. However, for over 1 billion people that is all the money they have for food. Shelter and clothing may be far from adequate and drinking water may not be safe. By investing in microfinance, you can help people start their own microbusiness and break the cycle of poverty. A great place to invest and make a difference is MicroPlace. Your dollars are put to work earning you interest while you help people lift themselves out of poverty. [Interest rates can be up to 3%, which is not bad considering how low interest rates are. However, these innovative funds are not FDIC insured, so be sure to read the details before investing.]
