The First Micro Finance Bank (Pakistan) is the embodiment of the concept of "micro loans" as a means to spur development in the third world. These loans are quite small relative to normal Western financial arrangements, often less than US$20, but provide access to capital that was never possible due to economic, cultural, or historical reasons. First Micro Finance Bank was set up by Aga Khan Rural Support Programme and the Aga Khan Fund for Economic Development in March, 2002.

Freedom from Hunger

http://www.freefromhunger.org/

Freedom from Hunger is an international development organization working in sixteen countries across the globe.

Freedom from Hunger brings innovative and sustainable self-help solutions to the fight against chronic hunger and poverty. Together with local partners, they equip families with resources they need to build futures of health, hope and dignity.

Credit with Education is Freedom from Hunger's worldwide strategy to bring self-help solutions to the fight against hunger--one family at a time. In 1988, they initiated the Credit with Education program, launching a new era of impact and outreach in our fight against hunger. The success of the program lies in its ability to combine information for improving people's lives with the means to do so.

Through a combination of cash credit and vital health/nutrition education, Credit with Education enables women to buy more and better food, invest in their children's education, take control of their families' health, and help each other to have a greater influence in their communities.

With training and assistance from Freedom from Hunger, local organizations can provide a service that meets the needs of their countries' poorest citizens through a sustainable, cost-effective program.
