Personal:
Why do you think World Vision gives over 70% of its micro finance loans to women? Personally I was both surprised and not-so-surprised that women in developing nations or suffering from poverty are far more likely to use a micro finance loan to support their family than men are. Why do you think that is?
Action:
I think the quote from today's journal is worth repeating...
1%--Women own less than one percent of the world's property
66%--Women work two thirds of the world's labor hours
10%--Women earn just ten percent of the world's wages
Why does such disparity exist between men and women? Do you think this is just? Have you checked out the links below on micro financing and how YOU can help a woman in the world provide for her family or village?
How is giving a loan to someone else in the world different from just giving out charity? Do you think one is better than another? Why?
