For those interested in the upcoming site visit (date TBA), here is the link to the retail clothing company we plan to visit, Patagonia, and their many CSR initiatives. Just a few of these initiatives include their LEED-certified distribution center in Reno, their initiative to build a private park in the Patagonia region of Chile, or their enviro internship program.
Just a quick reminder that Tuesday, March 9 is MIIS Net Impact’s second chapter meeting of the semester. It will take place at Morse B206 at 12:15pm
Hope to see you there, and don’t forget to check out last meeting’s minutes!
The Microfinance Distance Learning Course was designed for new entrants to the field of microfinance and has appealed to a broad range of people, including policy makers, donors, practitioners, academics and students. Staff of microfinance operations have found this course extremely useful – a chance to step back and see how their work fits into global microfinance initiatives.
Through the self-training online tool, new staff of agencies working in development or staff engaged in other fields are able to expand their knowledge of microfinance as an important part of efforts to fight poverty and contribute to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals.
