This is good to hear. I know for a fact there are many people/orgs willing to help with small business financing in developing countries, however they must have the small business tools and knowledge in place, so it's great to hear about this organization. Thanks!

Managing Organization: Tools for Self Reliance

Activity URL:

http://www.tfsr.org

Activity Description: Tools for Self Reliance is a UK-based charity that aims to empower artisans working in developing countries so that they can better participate in the development of themselves and their communities. To achieve this, TFSR works with local partner organisations to provide tools and skills training, thereby increasing self-reliance, diversifying incomes, and improving livelihoods.

Recognising that tools are only a small part of the answer to the problems facing the poor, TSFR works with local organisations to take an integrated approach to meeting the needs of rural crafts-workers , such as ensuring availability of credit to crafts-workers, teaching tool-using and repairing skills, as well as business and enterprise training.
