Comments Freedom from Hunger is not a MFI as the others: it does not distribute microcredit directly, but helps the MFI by offering them tools, training and technical assistance. Its main aim is to fight against the hunger in the world. For that, its program “Credit for Education” brings financing solutions to the micro-entrepreneurs, combined with health and nutrition. The MFI that it chooses as partners give loans mainly to women. Freedom From Hunger believes in the good will of the women to offer their family a decent life.
In the future Until now Freedom From Hunger settled everywhere. Now it decided to limit the number of countries in which it intercedes, but to reinforce its action in the chosen countries.

MFI met on the 6th of October 2008
