While there has been some recent criticism of its much touted potential to eliminate global poverty, there is no doubt that microfinance has empowered millions of impoverished people around the world by providing them access to the financial tools that traditional banks won’t offer.

To that end, the folks at Unitus are doing their part to fight global poverty by using a venture capital model to increase access to microfinance around the globe.

According to their website,

Unitus envisions a world where microfinance is available to every individual. We work toward this vision by accelerating the growth of the world’s highest-potential emerging microfinance institutions. We provide capital investments and capacity-building consulting, thus empowering these organizations to scale and provide life-changing financial services to dramatically more of the world’s working poor.

How can you help? Of course, you can always donate directly to Unitus.
