microcredit or moneylenders? more on Compartamos -

[Kala Philo]

Hello everyone, hope your December is going well. I am getting together some other info for you about the group in 09 but wanted to send this along, its a link to a NOW story done about the controversy around Compartamos' lending practices in Mexico (if you remember from a previous posting, they had a very successful IPO and are the most profitable bank in Mexico, due to effective interest rates of about 100% on small loans.)

Its about 12 minute video, features interviews with both Yunus and Compartamos' founders.

the page has links to other good info, too.

best
Kala
