Featured Campaign

Apply for an MFI Connect scholarship to travel Kenya this spring!


We have been raising money to send as many students as possible to Kenya! Scholarships will range from full scholarships to partial scholarships based on the amount students are able to raise from other sources. APPLICATIONS DUE FEB 21,
APPLY NOW!

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 and Sam Daley-Harris have also arranged a special MFI Connect 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.
