Spread the Word

You can take action to help alleviate poverty. Be a voice for those in need by engaging your community. Become an advocate for WCCN by:

Organizing an Event

Introduce others to the power of hope and change brought about by WCCN's projects. You can do anything from hosting a dinner party to starting a book club to raise awareness and funds for the Nicaraguan working poor. Here are a few fun ideas on how to get started [1].

Sharing Empowering Stories with your Friends

WCCN and our partner organizations in Nicaragua have changed the lives of many individuals and families living in poverty. Spread this good news! Short video clips [2] and success stories are available on our website. We also have a dvd entitled Better Futures: Voices from the Nicaraguan Credit Alternatives Fund [3], which shows the positive impact WCCN's work in microcredit is having on Nicaragua's working poor. WCCN offers copies of Better Futures at no cost. However, donations are accepted to cover expenses.

Starting a Save Change to Fight Poverty Campaign

Challenge your friends, family, colleagues, or congregation members to save their pocket change. Promise to collect and donate their savings in a month to any one of WCCN’s projects. With over 3 billion people worldwide living on less than $2 a day, your change will help change lives. WCCN will gladly work with to get you started organizing your campaign.

Blogging about WCCN

If you have your own blog, web page, or profile on a social networking website, feature WCCN and the work we’re doing to alleviate poverty.

Thank you so much for your support. Your help is vital in spreading the good news about microfinance and WCCN’s work to alleviate poverty!
