Mohammud Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank, blazed the trail and showed how access to a little money can help the poor get themselves out of the poverty cycle. Explaining the amazing repayment rates, he said when your poor you know that you don't get many chances and you're less likely to default on your loans.
Thanks to the success of Grameen Bank, micro-finance is now a thriving industry around the world, despite the fact that interests rates tend to be higher than in normal banks.
As an aspiring social entrepreneur, I'm sold on the poverty eradication potential of Manna. This can change millions of lives.

Thank you for your input @bhop42moro.
While I didnt always think this way, poverty is simply a lack of money. Most poor people are not where they are out of laziness or stupidity like many assert. Sure, there could be a motivation problem that stems from hopelessness...we see that all over the world..in poor first world cities and in 2nd and 3rd world nations. Where there is hopelessness, there is no innovation, motivation, or desire. Give people hope and they can thrive.
Exactly.
The barriers to hope include lack of access to capital for start-ups. Many countries, mine included, have a huge unemployment problem. There are no jobs. The only way out is for people to create their own employment.
We are all committed to this program providing hope to all in countries like yours.
What country are you in?
After you sign up, you will get a referral code on your own. I would suggest you give that code to all you know in an effort to get them to sign on. This will enable you to enter the bonus pool which pays for one year on each direct referral. I also suggest you encourage each person you sign up to do the same.
Kenya. I signed on yesterday.
