It’s the little things that make big dreams happen

Posted by Thomas Hessler in Investing in sustainability, zanox company , December 14th, 2009

Christmas is all about dreams, isn’t it? This is why we want to show you how easy it is to make dreams happen today. Last year, we started investing in businesses around the world via online microfinance platforms.  In 2009, we supported 15 different projects with more than 50 entrepreneurs. You might have already read some stories here on our blog – maybe even the one about Odilla, businesswoman from Kenya or about Chum Thon from Cambodia. To show you which great impact microfinance investments can have, we created a nice, little video that tells their stories and explains what the idea is all about:

We believe in microfinance, because people like you and me can make investments that stimulate motivation and grow over time. Help us to turn the dreams of thousands of entrepreneurs into reality. All it takes is a small loan, which helps people to help themselves. We hope that you like the idea and follow suit.

Have a merry Christmas everybody and thanks a lot for a great year 2009!

Thomas Hessler, Heiko Rauch and Jens Hewald

    I like the concept and idea of this,
    and somehow I am encouraged and motivated to invest myself and be able to reach out to
    people from different walks of life. for in this, I think it’s not solely about making it in the business and making a dream come true but, more so of reaching out to help people alleviate themselves.
    That is investing for a good cause..
    I salute you people!!

    Schnick Schnack in Sachen CSR. Untestützt einfach http://www.kiva.org, und braut nicht wieder ein eigenes Süppchen!

    Hi Ralf, that’s exactly what we are doing: supporting kiva.org and other online microfinance platforms.
