CreditSMS is developing an SMS-based microfinance delivery and tracking system in order to reduce the transportation costs associated with delivering credit to clients in rural and disconnected areas. In turn, we hope microfinance institutions will use revenue saved to lower their interest rates, making the loan environment more amenable to BOP entrepreneurs and encouraging higher participation.

Mobile Movement is a new microfinancing network that promotes global partnerships by giving young social entrepreneurs in the developing world mobile phones so they can connect with donors and participants directly via our network. Capitalizing on the low-cost and flexibility of mobile technology, the entrepreneurs will be able to discuss their projects first hand through SMS, MMS and email.  Mobile Movement is a new model of what we call Active Philanthropy: an emergent social movement that aims to bridge the gap between rich and poor through empowerment and relationship building.
