"To eliminate poverty we must give power to the poor" President Hugo Chavez.
"Micro credit is an excuse to empower women. We believe that the economy must be at the service of human beings, not human beings at the service of the economy. We want to create an economy based on co-operation and mutual support, a caring economy. We are not building a bank. We are building a different way of life..."
Nora Castañeda
