Summary (English)

Description
The mission of ACCION International is to give people the tools they need to work their way out of poverty. By providing "micro" loans, financial services and business training to poor women and men who start their own businesses, ACCION's partner microfinance organizations help people work their own way up the economic ladder, with dignity and pride. With capital, people can grow their own businesses. They can earn enough to afford basics like running water, better food and schooling for their children.
