Featured Campaign

Join MFI Connect in Kenya this spring!

In coordination with Sam Daley-Harris, director of The Microcredit Summit Campaign, we are working to bring a delegation of passionate students to the 2010 Africa/Middle East Regional Microcredit Summit from April 5 - April 11, 2010*. The MFI Connect experience includes field visits, panel sessions, workshops, brushing shoulders with inspiring microfinance professionals, and the chance for MFI Connect members to meet and work together as students supporting microfinance. MFI Connect has also worked with Sam Daley-Harris to create a special student session with Muhammad Yunus and Ingrid Monroe! *The actual Summit will be April 7-10, but MFI Connect has developed activities surrounding the Summit for participants to enjoy!

E-mail mficonnect.nairobi2010@gmail.com with any questions.

Microfinance: A Self-Guided Tutorial and Discussion Forum for Smart People

I teach a graduate course in microfinance and am a strong believer in continuous, self-education. One member of this site asked if I could put together a tutorial. I thought I'd invite others who wish to follow the same path and learn together.
