Thanks for this wonderful post. I live in the DR and work with issues of Haitian development – there is a great little yogurt project there- Lait agrogro under Verterimed.org which I am hoping to get some help for from the Haiti Diaspora. I cross posted a link to this article.

I think ventures such as this that piggy back on top of a microfinance institution will be more impactful in the long run than the small loans of microfinace themselves. Particularly because of the employment created and the higher quality consumables that will be made available to the poor. The fact that Grameen gives loans to women for cows and then buys back the milk reminded me of a relationship between FINCA and as FINCA's borrowers can use their loan to buy the Honey Care business package and then Honey Care will buy back the honey.
