Rebuilding Lives for as Little as $50
Americans generously donate millions of dollars each year to help eradicate world poverty. But recently, Dabbs Cavin, 41, a banker from Little Rock, Ark., and his family of four decided they wanted to make a tangible difference. So they jumped in with both feet, packed up their lives and moved to Rwanda, Africa, where Cavin took a position as CEO of a bank that offers small loans to the poor that make a big impact.

The idea of granting loans to poor entrepreneurs, called microfinance, has exploded around the world in recent years. Donations from average Americans can fund loans as small as $50 – for the same amount an American family could spend on one dinner out, a Rwandan can start a business that will feed a family and inject life into a community.
