Micro-loans will save the world.

Fact. A good friend of my family started her own organization called the Liberian Widows Initiative that raises money to give loans to Liberian widows living in a refugee camp in Ghana (where there are zero opportunities for anyone to make a living, let alone widowed mothers) to start their own small businesses.

I helped Kate design her business proposal back when she was just getting the organization started, and I didn’t even know how to use InDesign. Luckily those designs are lost to the world, but this is a flyer we jut put together last week for a woman in Kansas who is donating a huge percent of her Mary Kay sales to the LWI.
