Liberia: Microfinance

Improving the economic situation of women is key to peace-building efforts in Liberia following a civil war that tore the country apart and left 75 percent of its people in extreme poverty. UNDP, with funds from Denmark, has set up revolving microloans that provide funds to women entrepreneurs, many of whom are heads of households. Women make up 80 percent of the informal sector in Liberians economy

There are millions more who are as driven as the women in this video but don't have access to microcredit. I got a sense that none of them needed to be instructed on how to make their lives better - they just needed a chance to implement their own ideas.
