Enhancing Microfinance Efficacy through Integrated Services
Most microfinance organizations serve what we define as the extreme and the moderate
poor. These are individuals living below the poverty line earning less than $1 per day in the
poorest countries and less than $2 in middle-income developing countries. Unlike the destitute
poor, these individuals may not have to worry about the basic necessities such as food, water,
shelter, and clothing all year round, but they are still vulnerable to adverse effects that interrupt
their income such as ill health, lack of education, and natural disasters as described earlier. While
they are served by microfinance organizations, they can benefit from additional support to help
them become more sustainable clients and have an increased likelihood of success. Incorporating
elements of Grameen Bank and BRAC’s successes at synergizing various empowerment
interventions with the provision of microfinance (often through related companies), organizations
such as Pro Mujer and Fonkoze and others have attempted to link microfinance with health,
education, and natural disaster relief and prevention.

Help me name my moms business
- I think Infinity Cleaning Services sounds better than Elite Cleaning Solutions... Why the Solutions? What is there to be solved? You simply get a rag with some Windex on it and wipe away.... plug the vacuum and Vac Away, get a mop and mop away.
Stick to Infinity Cleaning Services... ICS sounds cool...

- Well in Canada we only have a few provinces and the Sales tax is slightly different. Here in Ontario the Goods & Services tax has reduced to 5% from 7% in the last year due to the promises made by the government in place.
Help me name my moms business
- My Mom is a dynamic entrepreneur and running several businesses. Recently she started a commercial cleaning business. I have thought of some name for my mom's cleaning business, but would like some other suggestions.
I have narrowed it down to, either: Infinity Cleaning Services, or Elite Cleaning Solutions. She is located in South Florida, and many of the other names are taken.
Thanks,
Re: Search Engine Optimization
- It is worth mentioning that the smaller markets around the world are going to soon catch up with the bigger markets in terms of integrating SEO techniques and technologies into their business operations. Many small business owners now offer "SEO Services" as part of a larger service plan, and its only a matter of time before everyone knows what SEO is and why it is important to ecommerce success.
