Offers an on-the-ground look at the idea of Microfinance used as a tool for creating change in a third-world country through the direct work of Non-Profit and NGO WomensTrust Inc.
'Giving Women Credit' follows, primarily, the stories of three Ghanaian women in very different stages of financial security and independence. Each has become a member of WomensTrust Inc., a small, non-profit organization dedicated to helping women further their small businesses with microloans, extended education and healthcare support. Through interviews, personal narratives and an intimate look into the day-to-day routines of the people of Pokuase, Ghana, 'Giving Women Credit' offers an on-the-ground look at Microfinance used as a tool for creating change in a third-world country. Non-profit and NGO WomensTrust's mission is to empower women and girls in Pokuase, Ghana, through microenterprise, education, and healthcare, and to inspire others to do the same elsewhere.—Kai de Mello-Folsom
