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.

Hi everyone!
I am putting together an event to connect social entrepreneurs in the Middle East to each other, to supporters from the community (corporate, research, funding, volunteers). I would appreciate if you know any or if you're one, to contact me please.

Hi Genice,
We are impressed with the kind of work you have undertaken for rural poor. We in Rajasthan, India are working with rural poor - who doesn’t have any resources and are classified as non bankable. We have formed groups identified their needs and made available funds as loan to them under soft loan schemes. This one is a more elaborate scheme very successful in our case and has been replicated many in India and South Asia. Shall all other necessary information if you are intrested in. Please advise if you need them.

I would love to connect with anyone who has written a business for a startup venture to benefit impoverished rural women. I am working with a CBO called Uganda Space and a student run group at The Cooper Union in New York City to launch a solar lighting microenterprise for women in Uganda. We are going to train 20-25 women in a rural collective to build self-assembled solar lighting systems for their own use and to sell to their neighbors at a profit. I am raising money friends to purchase the first few systems to get the women up and running. Once they are established, they will apply to MFI's for sustaining credit.

I would love to connect with someone who has written a business plan for a similar project or would be willing to share a sample of one.

Thank you for considering and best of luck on your ventures.

Hello all....

I was hoping you could help vote for my agro development project which I have just registered as a contestant of the IdeaBlob contest. The project is the ideal model of social entrepreneurship. This is a chance for the Backpack Farm to win 10,000 USD. The money doesn't go into our pockets. Instead, the money will be used to launch a demo farm of the project in Nanyuki, Kenya directly impacting the incomes of local farmers while helping to prove our business model building sustainable food production in Africa by empowering rural farmers as entrepreneurs rather than aid recipients.

This competition only last one week, so please take a minute and vote. Please forward this e-mail to friends and colleagues!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your support!

Hi, Im Luciano, started the sale of a local alchool named "ckairin", in Ayiti; but I went to bankrupt, because people I have given product on credit did not pay on time. I would like to restart, and need advices.
