Microcredit Summit Campaign Partner Sites

Poverty Fighters [ www.povertyfighters.com ]

Povertyfighters.com Oxfam America Collegiate Click Drive

The Oxfam America Collegiate Click Drive—a national online competition to generate free donations for micro credit programs worldwide—does just that. The micro credit industry provides small loans to very poor clients, predominantly women, which are used to start small businesses. Loans such as these can be the impetus to raise entire families and communities out of poverty.

To participate, go to www.PovertyFighters.com and register to click on behalf of a college. Each click generates a 25 cent donation from the site's sponsors, and brings your college one step closer to victory, as the winning college is determined by whichever one brings in the most clicks.
