It is the story of a liberation movement that is empowering millions of people with small loans. The miracle is that such small amounts of money (by Western standards) have such a dramatic impact on the lives of hundreds of millions of people around the world, the vast majority of them women. It is the story of the poor who have built small enterprises with the help of tiny loans and as "capitalists" have begun to pull themselves out of poverty. This story of microcredit and the millions of lives it has uplifted, has the power to enlist the good will and participation of those people seeking ways to make a difference in the world.
