Micro finance
Microfinance involves providing financial services like loans, savings, insurance to low-income individuals. It began in the 1970s when Muhammad Yunus started the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh. Microfinance institutions provide these services through organizations like non-profits and credit unions. They target small business owners, farmers, and traders without access to traditional banks. While microfinance helps reduce poverty, issues still exist like unregulated high interest rates and costs, and many poor people relying on informal lenders. The Indian government and organizations are working to expand access to microfinance and address weaknesses in the system.
micro finance
Microfinance involves providing small loans and other financial services to low-income individuals who lack access to traditional banking. The history of microfinance includes early experiments in Ireland and Bangladesh in the 18th-19th centuries. Microloans are intended to spur entrepreneurship and alleviate poverty by funding micro-businesses. Applying for microloans typically requires basic documentation and collateral is often not required due to the small loan amounts. Critics argue that microfinance does not always reduce poverty and that high interest rates can burden borrowers.
Microcredit Presentation
Micro-finance provides small loans and other financial services to low-income individuals who do not have access to traditional banking services. It has helped many people start small businesses and increase their incomes. However, some argue that interest rates on micro-loans are sometimes too high and micro-finance does not address the underlying structural causes of poverty. The document discusses different models of micro-finance organizations and provides examples of how micro-loans have helped individuals and families in developing countries.

Engineering Georgia - See Page 34
The new law prohibits uninsurable broad form hold harmless and duty to defend clauses in engineering and architectural contracts in Georgia. Such clauses previously required design professionals to assume liability for all project damages and defend clients against any claims, even if the design professional was not at fault. However, professional liability insurance did not cover this additional risk. HB 943, signed into law by Governor Deal, makes these types of clauses unenforceable in Georgia as of July 1, 2016, protecting design professionals from taking on uninsurable contractual liabilities. ACEC Georgia led the effort to address this growing issue for the engineering industry.

The story of an african king and his friend
An African king loses his thumb in a hunting accident caused by his friend's mistake in preparing a gun. The friend says "this is good, Allah knows best" but the king imprisons him. Later, cannibals capture the king but let him go because he's missing a thumb. Reminded of his friend's words, the king apologizes and learns his friend would have been captured with him if not in jail. The moral is not to judge outcomes immediately, as Allah's decisions contain wisdom beyond appearances.

The document discusses the root causes of inventory problems in China's apparel industry, including lengthy design cycles, large batch sizes, lack of supply chain integration and control, premature forecasting, and lack of timely sales feedback. It proposes strategies for apparel retailers to address these issues, such as adopting a quick response (QR) strategy inspired by Zara that emphasizes postponement and vertical integration, as well as developing a customer-driven approach. However, it notes Zara's model is not perfect and Chinese retailers should aim to avoid potential quality problems when customizing QR strategies for the local market.
An Evaluation of the Comprehensiveness of the BSc Honours in Psychology Degre...
No matter how well designed or filled with cogent material curricula are, they cannot adequately prepare an
early career professional for working with practical situations and puzzles. Of late, ZOU has an influx of undergraduates
who are straight from high school and these have limited exposure to field experiences. Hence even after graduation, the
practicality of their fields of study is elusive. This was an exploratory research whose findings will be used to evaluate the
psychology programme offered at ZOU. The study used a qualitative methodology and purposive sampling to select the
participants and data sources. Data was collected through depth interviews, document analysis and focus group discussions.
The research has a longitudinal element; hence the sample included 25 BSc. Honours in Psychology graduates from ZOU
within the past 5 years. Data were analysed using thematic content review. The findings revealed that, the students lacked
perceptual understanding of the fields of psychology and most of the practical concepts were imaginary in the absence of
practical exposure. From the participants, 100% were not practicing psychology, 100% were not registered and 92% were
not utilizing psychology qualification in their scope of work. The study recommends an evaluation of the 4 year Psychology
Programme in terms of development, efficiency, effectiveness and relevance

This document summarizes a presentation about a project called the East Africa Dairy Development (EADD) project. The EADD project aims to transform the lives of smallholder dairy farmers in East Africa by doubling their household dairy incomes over 10 years. It has mobilized over 160,000 farmers in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda into cooperative groups. Through these groups, farmers have gained access to markets, inputs, and technical assistance. As a result, farmer incomes have increased by 150-754% depending on the country. The project establishes "Dairy Hubs" which are centers that connect farmers to buyers, inputs, financial services and more in a way that creates a virtuous cycle for all.Broken pumps and pipes
The document discusses challenges in delivering sustainable rural water services. While coverage has increased significantly with tens of billions invested, about 730 million remain unserved and 30-40% of handpumps in Africa are non-functional. Failure rates are unacceptable and investments are largely wasted. The focus needs to shift from initial construction to establishing long-term water services through strengthening sectors, appropriate financing, management models, and support for operations and maintenance. National governments, donors, NGOs and communities must work together to establish permanent water services.

The document discusses a lack of access to safe water, hygiene, and sanitation in India which leads to diseases and economic losses. It notes that conventional approaches to improving WASH have been ineffective and do not address women's needs. The "Pan in the Van" approach is proposed as a women-centric, mobile solution using a van equipped with audiovisual tools, demonstrations, and a resource team. The approach involves a 3-day camp providing planning, capacity building, and follow up to help communities achieve and maintain total sanitation in a cost-effective manner. Evaluation of initial camps showed improved women's participation, demand generation, and addressing supply chain issues.
