Transforming Lives $40 at a Time

Dana Whitaker, the author of "Transforming Lives $40 at a Time, Women + Microfinance" showed up in my UGBA "Colloquium on the Social, Political, and Ethical Environment of Business" class. She gave a presentation about how microfinance helped people, especially women, to get a new life. It's so remarkable.

What can a $40 dollars loan do? It can save a whole family in some third world countries. You can't even have a dinner at a decent restaurant with $40 in US. This is insane. This is life.
