MICROLENDING (2012)

directed by Micaela Corgas

Imagine your sister, mom, aunt, grandma, friend, girlfriend, or wife back when they were a child.  Imagine that they were not given any opportunity to be someone; to do what they always dreamed of or to live a life that they could freely choose for themselves.  This situation is happening right now.  Girls all over the world are not being given a chance.  They are growing up in a seemingly big and unfair world.  In this world, they do what is expected of them, which usually isn't very much; having an arranged marraige at 13 and a baby at 14 is an example of some girls lives.  They are never given a chance or opportunity to do something different.  This short narrative will take you through the lives of many girls who the above situation may happen to and how this situation can change with just one person.  It will show you how microlending to people without many opportunities can improve a person's life and those lives around them. Someone's life can drastically change because of YOU.
