Micro-Financing: Economic support

Taking advantage of exchange rates, Micro-Financing allows the dollar to make a larger impact. Microfinance refers to a range of financial services offered to individuals and small businesses, in developing countries, who typically lack access to traditional banking services due to low income, lack of collateral, or limited credit history. These services are aimed at promoting financial inclusion and helping people improve their livelihoods and become more self-sufficient. 

An amount of $50 can lift up a business owner overseas and support them for months to come. MMEC Seattle seeks to provide 150 people in Benin with financing up to $100.
