Integrating Microfinance with Sustainable Health Services for a Better Bottom Line (Presentation)

After Hours Seminar #19: Integrating Microfinance with Sustainable Health Services for a Better Bottom Line (Presentation) took place on January 30, 2008.

At our January 30th, 2008 seminar, Freedom from Hunger Vice-President Beth Porter presented on their Microfinance and Health Protection initiative, a pilot project they are conducting in partnership with five microfinance institutions on three continents. The initiative aims to take their traditional Credit with Education model to the next level by offering additional health services such as health savings accounts, emergency loans, and access to health care providers and health products. Following Beth's presentation, Craig Churchill of the ILO's Social Finance Unit gave a brief presentation on the work of the Microinsurance Innovation Facility.
