Innovative Solutions to Poverty are badly needed in a world where half of all humanity lives on less than $2 a day. Even with the growth of new approaches, like microfinance, 2.5 billion people lack access to critical financial services that can help them feed and educate their children, stabilize their communities, and work their way out of poverty. The challenge is clear. As Nelson Mandela said, "Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life." We will tell you about the innovative efforts of the Village Banking Campaign, and we hope to hear about your efforts as well.

Why are we being ignored or not being taken seriously, the only thing we lack is the funding to actually getting started.  If you can help us get at us ASAP, the world cannot wait another day, at the end of the day we can all go home, at the end of someone else's day they are dying or worse dead because we didn't act any sooner.  WE CANNOT DELAY, we are with any group that can help us, let's go people and stop f'n around. The world is already aware, we have to take action NOW!
