Hello everyone! I am running an online fundraising campaign through the Foundation for Sustainable Development for a microfinance project that the Kenya Community Support Center is starting in Coast Province. The campaign goes until August 6, and we are hoping to raise as much money as possible for it so that we may make the program as large as possible. If you guys could help spread the word, or even make a contribution yourself, that would go a long way for the youth (18-35 year olds) in Kenya's Coast Province. The link to the project description and where donations can be made is here: http://www.fsdinternational.org/donate/projects/schon

I will also be writing more about it on my blog at kenyajustin.wordpress.com

Thank you for all of your interest in microfinance.

Hi Rachel ,
Nice to read about your activity in Kenya. I wish to introduce myself where we have been providing ICT solutions for Microfinance and Livelihood monitoring solutions. Very recently we have also brought out a Voice based interactive browser application that would enable non computer or IT illiterates to just call the application and know their balance or credit details or conduct transactions online. this innovation is a step forward over SMS based transaction solutions.
Please do visit our web site : www.elitser.com & www.internetspeech.com for more information. For any more information please do write me at : ramanojas@gmail.com

Lookforward to your interaction in this regard.

Thanking you , With Best Regards,

Hello fellow microfinance groupies... I hope everyone is having a great new year. I woudl apprecaite if you could please help me network our new fundraiser on kickstarter to finance a sustainable eco-farm microfinance scheme in Meru, Kenya working with a group of single mothers. Yes, it really is being designed to be both sustainable and transparent. You can read more here: http://tinyurl.com/yep7gsa

micro finance is the only way to uplift our people from poverty,however some practitioners move out of the core objective and hit hard on those whom they ought to mold out of poverty.Is it justifiable?

Hello fellow entrepreneurs

Please come follow the Backpack Farm on http://twitter.com/backpackfarm - www.backpackfarm.org

The Backpack Farm represents a practical, sustainable and commercial development model all rolled into one. I regularly post on development, food security, women's issues, water and of course microfinance including reports, studies and funding that is becoming available through commercial or donor sources.

Look forward to seeing you online.

Thanks Rachel....the company is a MFI already operating in India, but we are trying to expand by getting some PE funding and other multilateral funding from international agencies for this venture. Can you send your templates, and I will go through for best fit. My e-mail is ibn90@hotmail.com.....Many thanks.
Rachel Zedeck Comment by Rachel Zedeck on August 27, 2009 at 8:17am
Imo... I have a ton of templates. Can you clarify your request. You want to function as an MFI? Your best bet is first to research what the requirements are for an MFI to function in your country because this will determine how you design your BP.
Imo Ndem Comment by Imo Ndem on August 27, 2009 at 7:30am
Hello there, does anyone have a Business Plan Template for a MFI? A template we could use to obtain funding from PE/VC Firms. If yes, please send template to "ibn90@hotmail.com". Many thanks
