Dear Editorial Team,
To be very honest, though I have been working
with a small microfinance organisation for the last two
years, I was not enjoying it much. But after coming across
Microfinance Matters, it's all different. I am focussed
and it has helped me to update myself on the latest in
the field. "Microfinance" is a powerful tool to put an
end to poverty. Certainly there is no doubt in it. Especially
in our country, India , it has a vital role to play.
Keep up your good work. A big thanks to the entire editorial
team and wish us all the best in OUR mission.
Regards |
