This is an interesting blend of economic and individual empowerment. The idea is clear, but it appears as this program is very much in early stage development. In order to understand the potential reach, would you be able to describe the delivery model in more detail?
Thanks, Tito Llantada

In theory this is a great idea! I am interested in how you plan to sustain such a program. You mention raising 50,000, how do you plan to do that?

It would also be interesting to hear how communities and families become involved in the program. Will you go and ask people to join or will you wait for them to come to you?

Lastly, do you help people identify how to use the money you lend them, or are you just going to be a lending organization? Are you promoting sustainable business models or can kids borrow money for personal use?

I look forward to hearing how the organization grows and please update the site with information as it develops.
