Giving Credit Where Credit is Due

Microfinance, sometimes called micro-credit, is an alternative approach to lending that provides loans to people who would not normally qualify for traditional bank loans. In this activity, students investigate this alternative economic approach, analyze the costs and benefits and compare it with traditional lending systems. The social and environmental impacts of microfinance programs are also investigated by students.

The real game of survivor

Beyond disaster relief

“Something that my classmates and I agreed was interesting was that CHF doesn’t just throw money or supplies at people in need, you also teach them how to become self-sufficient and not only that, but you give them a sense of pride and worth. Every single person on this planet, rich or poor, deserves that….Thank you for reminding all of us of that.”
