We’re pleased to announce our partnership with Month of Microfinance to provide the technology platform to help microfinance advocates all over the world find other microfinance advocates nearby.
To help us achieve our goal of bringing microfinance advocates together in person:
WHAT: Month of Educational, Awareness and Fundraising events for Client-Centered Microfinance
WHEN: April 1 – April 30, 2013
WHERE: Everywhere
WHY: We are a low-budget (correct that, no-budget) grassroots movement of student organizations with a passion for microfinance and an intense commitment to learning.
The goal is to organize the world’s microfinance community into real life communities. If that sounds ambitious, you’re right. It is. Finding others passionate about microfinance in cities all across the globe has been a personal pain point for me over the past 3 years traveling, so it’s safe to say I’ve beyond excited to have an imminent solution to this problem. Once Oh Hey World is live (read: before April), you’ll be able to sign up for an account, tag your profile as “microfinance”, check-in to your current location – and see others passionate about microfinance close by.

As you know, we partnered with Month of Microfinance with the goal of organizing the world’s microfinance community into local communities. I wrote an “autobiographies of microfinance” for Month of Microfinance that was published today titled “What mark are you leaving on the world?” You can read it here.
