Microcredit is about engendering dignity and self-worth in allowing the greatest number of this planet’s population to lift themselves and their family out of poverty in a sustainable manner.  Microcredit is likely the greatest tool for social good ever developed.
 
The Microcredit Summit is the “Davos” of this rapidly expanding universe, and its leadership microcredit’s greatest advocates.  They have called more to action for poverty alleviation, which in turn builds human dignity and prosperity in health, equality, the environment, education, social order and world peace than, I believe, any other socially-just effort.

This is an organization whose healthy heart, coupled with its passionate and wise leadership, is making a universally critical impact and is, thus, critical to support.

--Dr. Steven Funk, Co-Founder of the Dignity Fund (2008)

One of the best forums for fruitful conversations among many types of microcredit practitioners from around the world is the Microcredit Summit Campaign. The story of this global organization offers a good way of tracing the development and growth of the microcredit movement.

While practitioners work in villages and hamlets usually in silence, the Microcredit Summit Secretariat gives microfinance voices in high places!
