Entrepreneurship
by Greg Balanko-Dickson on January 30, 2007
Held the first full week of February each year the goal is to highlight and illustrate the work of Canada's Development Community, to learn more drop in at www.acdi-cida.gc.ca and read on to learn more about what Operation Eye Sight is doing to improve the conditions of women in developing countries.
Making scarce dollars go further in the field of international development is often simply a case of boosting the participation of women in development projects. According to the UN and World Bank, gender inequality directly inhibits the economic growth and development of whole societies. When women are held back, so is a society's standard of living.
Educating these women in nutrition, modern child care, sanitation, literacy and small business enterprise has equipped them to improve the lives of their own families and to spread the benefits of that knowledge throughout the community, sustaining the program in the process.

Great idea, Greg, to donate your royalties to micro-finance! I believe that microfinancing help alleviate poverty in the world. I wish you all the best!

Every day, the rising sun paints the world’s horizons for all to enjoy. But for millions of people in developing countries, that vision is eclipsed by blindness, a condition that for the great majority is actually treatable—even preventable.
