In June of 2006 I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Guatemala with Whole Planet Foundation opens in a new tab Team Member, Steve Wanta. The goal of the trip was to record the personal stories of several Grameen Guatemala borrowers in the Lake Atitlán region. The video footage we shot was used to create Cristina’s Story- the video above. This video illustrates the profound change that microcredit operations can create for the people who participate in them.It was truly amazing to see how effective the Grameen method of microcredit can be, and how quickly it begins to make an impact on borrowers’ lives. You don’t need to take my word for it, though! Listen to Cristina’s story, one of the first women in the region to receive a loan from Grameen Guatemala. She’ll tell you, better than I ever could, how much microcredit has empowered her to provide for her family’s well being.Want to know more?
