"The International Year of Microcredit is an opportunity to highlight the essential role that financial services play in community development. In addition to its socio-economic impact, providing communities with access to financial services through local institutions enables communities and their members to build up individual and collective wealth. For Développement international Desjardins, access to financial services is a right, not a privilege."
-- Anne Gaboury, DID President and CEO
