Meet Microentrepreneurs Each day, ACCION is extending access to financial services to millions of hardworking poor people across the globe, empowering them with hope for their futures. Through microfinance, the working poor are able to earn more income, grow their tiny businesses and build their assets. Businesses range from sewing workshops and market stalls to small-scale agriculture and livestock husbandry. Every client who takes advantage of ACCION’s microfinance services in turn improves the lives of family members, employees and neighbors in fundamental ways – better nutrition, children who can stay in school, a roof that doesn’t leak.
