Many theories and solutions have been advanced to deal with this chronic disparity. One of the most promising modern remedies appears to be very basic. It’s called microcredit, and its primary philosophy – helping people help themselves – is quintessentially Rotarian. This idea is being put to work through Uniendo América, a microcredit program operated by Rotarians in Honduras.View movie clip Date Posted: 25 February 2008  Rotary's YouTube ChannelRotary has joined the YouTube generation.

Microfinance has helped millions in developing countries raise their standards of living and protect themselves from economic setbacks. View movie clip Date Posted: 30 November 2007  Small Fortunes: Microcredit and the Future of PovertyMillions of the world's poorest, mostly women, who are unable to provide the necessary collateral to secure a traditional loan are turning to microcredit institutions for help. These institutions give micro-loans, often for less than $100, to those for whom the entrepreneurial spirit is still in its purest, most basic form. Whether it's through milking a buffalo, selling tortillas, or weaving cloth, most borrowers are able to pay back their loans, and have enough profits to reinvest in their businesses, their homes, and their children.
