Subject: Tell the World's Economic Leaders to Prioritize Microfinance

In just a few weeks, the world's economic leaders will gather at the World Economic Forum (WEF) Annual Meeting 2009 to discuss the current financial crisis.

I need your help to make sure that the WEF’s leaders use the meeting to help those hardest hit by the crisis -- the 3+ billion people around the world currently living on less than $2 a day.

Will you help? Just click the following link to add your name to the petition by January 21st:

Microfinance is one of the most effective ways to help people around the world break the cycle by giving the world’s poor the financial tools and resources they need to lift themselves and their families out of poverty.

But there is an urgent need to expand these services. Right now, the microfinance community is reaching only 10-20% of the estimated 500 million poor entrepreneurs who would benefit from these opportunities.

The leaders of the World Economic Forum have the power to advance microfinance world-wide and help eradicate poverty. Please join me in contacting the Forum's Co-Chairs by January 21st to urge them to promote and prioritize microfinance at the upcoming conference.
