Why are you here?

This site was started with the poor in mind. The thought was "how can we empower and equip students to passionately and sustainably help in the fight against poverty?"

Microfinance is a tool that allows business students to apply the skills that they are acquiring in a manner that can help the poorest of the poor in concrete and lasting ways.

What are you currently working on?

Currently working on developing the back-end for an internship job board. If you have any idea how to do this and can help, anything is appreciated.
