Social
Responsibility We
are so fortunate to live in a culture where small business entrepeneurs
have access to a wide variety of resources such as, Community Futures,
Small Business BC and the Women's Enterprise Centre, only to name a
few. Through these amazing resources ambitious entrepreneurs
can access loans, information and support.
In
developing countries ambitious entrepreneurs are not so fortunate. Some
have excellent ideas and could be providing a sustanable income for
themselves and their families but can not access funding from local
financial institutions.
As a small business owner I feel that
it is my social responsibility to assist the global small business
community through microfinancing, which provides
entreprenuers in developing countries with intrest free loans.
By offering these loans those who are unable to provide for themselves
and living in poverty may now be able to thrive through sustanable
income.
Aum
To Earth will donate $5 of every Birthing From Within course fee to a
social lending fund. This money will then be used to provide intrest
free
loans to those who need it most through kiva.org.
