The Virtual Library on Microcredit
Microcredit and microfinance is not the answer to all the problems of poverty in developing countries, but it is indeed an 'inducer' to a great many actions that can lead to a better quality of life for the low-income groups. The Virtual Library on Microcredit is a repository of information on alternative, non-conventional financial systems and microfinance/microcredit issues.
So what is microfinance and microcredit? Does it really help the poor out of poverty? What do we need to do?
