A generous contribution
In Honor of
Mom
has been made by Tawnia

In honor of you and mothers worldwide, I've made a donation to FINCA. FINCA focuses on women clients because they are the least able to access credit, and because women with children are typically the poorest segment of the poor. In the developing world, a woman's chances of receiving credit are markedly lower than a man's, and yet, in an increasing number of families, the woman provides a substantial portion—or all—of the family's income. Moreover, as FINCA founder John Hatch said, "It has been proven time after time that increasing the incomes of poor mothers results in an almost immediate improvement in the diet of their children. The greatest benefit is that, when a woman's income grows, the first thing she does is to send her children to school. And when a child is educated, he or she has better opportunities to live outside of poverty." Happy Mother's Day Mom! May 2008
