		<description><![CDATA[CARE is a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. We place special focus on working alongside poor women because, equipped with the proper resources, women have the power to help whole families and entire communities escape poverty. Women are at the heart of CARE's community-based efforts to improve basic education, prevent the spread of HIV, increase access to clean water and sanitation, expand economic opportunity and protect natural resources. CARE also delivers emergency aid to survivors of war and natural disasters, and helps people rebuild their lives.]]></description>

She received a small loan from her Village Savings and Loan Association, a group of women who pool their own money--often just a few pennies a week--and make loans from their pooled savings to help start small businesses, pay for education for their children, food for their families, and medicines.
