The Microfinance Working Group is pleased to welcome Jonathan Lewis, founder and CEO of MicroCredit Enterprises where he works on a pro bono basis. MicroCredit Enterprises is an innovative, open source, not-for-profit venture, which leverages private capital to make small business loans primarily to poor women in developing countries. Mr. Lewis will discuss the impact that exorbitantly high interest rates can have on microfinance clients, whether microentrepreneurs can really afford to pay up to 100% APR for small loans, and how MFIs can lower the cost of its services to clients and simultaneously
strive to reach sustainability.
Snacks and refreshments will be served!
Registration is not necessary.
