Microlending

Microlending has been an efficient way to start small businesses in developing countries.  Samuel Adams has been providing $10,000 loans to startup businesses.  An NPR report provides the basics on Samuel Adams Microloans.  They provide the loan and the basic expertise in starting a small business.  Other corporations sitting on cash reserves may wish to follow their lead.  They could focus on businesses that use and distribute their products.

The books Switch and Influencer cover some of the same topics for initiating change.
