SKS hosts microfinance accelerator, Unitus for their annual
Partner Expedition
Hyderabad - Microfinance
accelerator and SKS investor, Unitus (www.unitus.com), lead a
partner expedition of 30 people to SKS this week. As part of a four
day exposure tour for Unitus donors and investors, participants saw
first hand how SKS works to alleviate poverty in rural India -
observing center meetings, group formation and training sessions and
client activities. It was the largest expedition Unitus has ever
lead and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Below you
can see comments from some of the participants and further

�This was our first time to India and everything was planned out,
communicated proactively and organized to maximize our learning
experience. One of the most powerful moments was when we asked how
many women were sending their children to school. All of their hands
went up. This compared with < 30% of them who had gone to school and
most for only a few years. We saw how microfinance was empowering
the next generation to live in a different world.� � Dave Richards,
Fast Forward Consulting Services, Seattle, Wash., USA
�I am inspired by the examples of the poor who are working so hard
to help their families and also by those who have dedicated so much
to helping them. I met many people who serve as great examples to me
and have inspired me to want to do more.� � Gary Lee, Director,
White Pass Capital, Calgary, Canada |
