I remember seeing this program on tv on how woman from developed countries provide loans to these third world women to assist them in starting their own businesses to improve their health and income levels for their families. I believe it is an exceptional idea helping others empower themselves to become better providers. Women around the world are as important espcially in some cultures where they do not recognize women at the same level as a man. What is important that man or woman we must continue to educate if we are wanting to see change.
