Since the establishment of the Grameen Bank as a micro-credit delivery model, many programmes have rushed to replicate the relative success and in doing so, a lot of attention has been given to female micro-credit borrowers. Women were specifically targeted because they make up the majority of the poorest of the poor in the rural areas and are responsible for the social and economic welfare of the family.

Enhancing Microfinance Efficacy through Integrated Services
Most microfinance organizations serve what we define as the extreme and the moderate poor.
Improving Microfinance as an Anti-Poverty Tool
As Father Joseph Philippe, the co-founder of the Haitian MFI Fonkoze, states: “You can’t just give a woman a loan and then send her on her way - you have to accompany her as she struggles to make her way out of poverty.”
Inhibitors to Success: Health
The loss of income due to sickness and incapacitation of a borrower or a family member, and the high cost of health treatment are detrimental to individuals and families in the developing world. Therefore, it is not surprising that illness and death of family members are among the most common reasons why microfinance participants remain mired in poverty, default on their loans and/or drop out of a microfinance program.
How to Make a Start
One good way to get started with creating social business enterprises would be to launch a design competition for social business enterprises.

Rebuilding Through Social Enterpreneurship
On television in Bangladesh, I watched with great sadness the horrors Katrina unleashed on New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. I was so tempted to be there to participate in post-disaster activities, as we have so much experience with these kinds of disasters. But I knew my American friends did, too. Having studied at Vanderbilt and traveled extensively in the affected areas names of places and faces of people were so familiar. A friend of mine from Ecuador even sent me a picture taken in Biloxi 39 years back to remind ourselves that we were there!

What is a Small Business Administration (SBA) Loan?
As a new entrepreneur looking for capital, one of your first options for a loan will be a SBA-backed loan. SBA loan applications are made through a bank. The SBA guarantees a loan to the bank, so in case the borrower defaults, the bank is guaranteed a portion of the loan by the SBA. (You are still liable for the loan, so your obligation does not go away) This makes it easier for banks to lend to budding entrepreneurs, but it does not mean that the bank can lend indiscriminately. The bank will analyze the application to protect its interest as well as the SBA’s.

The Roles And Responsibilities Of The Canada National Bank
Canada National Bank is the central bank of Canada. Although, it is important to know that it is not a government department. It is rather a crown corporation owned by the government. Though its activities are almost independent, its earnings go to the federal treasury and shares are directly held by the finance ministry. Besides that, it is not the federal public service agency but the bank itself that regulates the employees of this bank. It was after the introduction of the 1934 Bank of Canada Act that gave this bank the monopoly on the issuance of banknotes. The value of the Canadian dollar depends upon the actual amount of money created by this bank. Its main task is to promote the financial and economic well being of Canada.
