About this book

This book presents true stories of how Christ-centered microfinance helps children and families. It explores what $4.83—the cost of a large coffee, medium movie theater popcorn, or thirty minutes of downtown parking in a major city—can accomplish when directed through microfinance initiatives. The book argues that when parents receive economic opportunities, their children's lives improve. It combines data and real-life accounts to examine ten areas where children benefit from Christ-centered microfinance programs. The author demonstrates the potential for such small investments to create lasting change in vulnerable communities.
