www.fivetalents.org: Get to Know Five Talents International's Business as Mission

Five Talents encourages volunteers and church members to use their business skills to help others. This a noble thing to do. "It is simply the concept that business professionals can use their God-given skills and talents to assist poor entrepreneurs in developing countries who are starting small businesses as a way out of poverty. Five Talents pursues new and creative ways for business people to use their skills and talents in the overseas mission field by providing business training and one-on-one business counseling for loan recipients. The ultimate goal is a transformative experience for all involved."

"Microcredit is one of the few concepts that keeps funding in circulation, rather than using it up. As loans get repaid with interest, the money goes back out again and again." Indeed, it is a viable way to invest in the poor.
