Financial Promise for the Poor

Dear Revolutionaries – I am pleased that the co-founder of this blog, Paul Rippey, has featured a book for which I was the lead editor. Thank you, Paul.

Financial Promise for the Poor: How Groups Build Microsavings is about, drum roll, savings groups. Its chapters range from technologically-ingenious groups to women-oriented groups, tracing the links between music and savings, culture and savings, and of course, savings and groups. I recommend the inspiring chapter that features an interview with the founder of CARE’s MMD program, Moira Eknes.
