As of December 2006, our member organizations provided loans and other financial services to help more than 133 million of the worlds poor families lift themselves out of poverty through self-sufficiency. This includes 92 million families who were living on less than one U.S. dollar per day when they took out
their first loan. By 2015, the Microcredit Summit Campaign aims to provide leadership, guidance, and support to ensure that, in keeping with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals:
(1) A total of 175 million of the worlds poorest families, especially women of those families, receive credit for self-employment and other financial and business services; and
(2) 100 million families rise above the US$1 a day threshold, adjusted for purchasing power parity. For more information, please visit www.microcreditsummit.org. Address: 750 First Street NE, Suite 1040, Washington, DC 20002, USA.
