However, the finance industry is more about organizations than individuals, though individuals do play a large role in the success or failure of their organizations. Therefore, this month the social entrepreneur spotlight is on an organization in the business of utilizing human capital.<\/p>\n<h2>Finance and Microfinance<\/h2>\n<p>Within finance is a sector known as \u2018Microfinance\u2019. It constitutes a part of the social entrepreneurship world. \u2018Microfinance\u2019 is a term used to describe small-scale loans given to individuals from developing nations who prove capable of creating a self-sustaining enterprise.<\/p>\n<p>Microfinance institutes create a platform where they provide women, farmers, and other local individuals with loans when they do not qualify for such from a traditional bank. They also offer business advice, counseling, and peer support to allow the individuals to transition their enterprises into a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zilliondesigns.com\/blog\/entrepreneur-spotlight-solidarium\/\">sustainable business model similar to that of millennial Tiago Dalvi <\/a>.

As a Cornell University graduate, Count was a Fulbright scholar in Bangladesh, training under Professor Muhammad Yunus, the founder of Grameen Bank (also co-recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize).
