In Half The Sky, Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn tell the inspiring story of Saima Muhammad in Pakistan who was able pull her family out of poverty and become a prosperous woman after receiving a $65 loan from a microfinance organization. I have donated to Kiva for several years now (kiva.org) and specifically searched out opportunities to donate to women. After reading about Saima, I became curious of other microfinance organizations. How do they rank? What is their mission? etc. I found some helpful information at myphilanthropedia.org.
