1. Small loans probably won’t lift people out of poverty or empower women. But that doesn’t mean they’re useless.

    I think microcredit is about giving people an opportunity to lift themselves out of poverty. Sometimes they can, sometimes they can’t. No international development strategy is enough on its own, but at least microfinance allows people to have credit they normally wouldn’t and make their own decisions.
