Children's book shows impact of microloans

As a child growing up in Ghana, Kwabena Darko was very poor. He received a small loan (a "microloan"), and what he did with that money changed the lives of his entire community. A new children's book, One Hen: How One Small Loan Made a Big Difference, written by Katie Smith Milway, illustrated by Eugenie Fernandes, and published by Kids Can Press, tells the heartwarming story.

One Hen encourages children to think about the power we each have to initiate positive changes in the world. In addition, children can play online games to experience the impact a small loan has on a virtual village.
