Eradicating Global Poverty

Anne Hastings, Executive Director of Fonkoze, Haiti's largest microfinance institution, has searched the globe for a solution to the problem of extreme poverty. In countries as far apart as Bangladesh and Haiti efforts to combat even the most extreme types of poverty are now proving effective at relatively little cost per family. Based on her review of experimental and innovative approaches worldwide, Hastings describes the role that microfinance, education, health care, and case management play in eradicating poverty.

There is hope for poverty!  As long as we work together on it. Thanks.

The irony of it all is that no money ever solved the aftermath of the earth quake. There is a total lack of organisation and people still live in tents.

Imposing poverty in the Global Village is also named as confiscating of ones right to live peacefully & deny him of the basic needs of life. We must all start to provide interest free loans/financial aids to enable all the human beings earn their living. Presenting poverty charts, graphs & the issues relating to them is only one side of the picture. But the horrible side of the picture is irrepressible reaction in the shape of suicide bombing & destructions. We may call it terrorism or extremism
