Music + Microfinance
I was intrigued when I first learned about Hope Sings, a new musical collaboration project that brings the uplifting stories of microentrepreneurs to life through original song. Unable to carry even the most basic tune, I’m always impressed by talented musicians. But knowing that people were writing songs about microfinance borrowers truly boggled my mind.

If you’re also curious about how Hope Sings is melding music and microfinance, check out the project’s June 23rd concert, presented by Marta Gómez, the acclaimed Colombian singer/songwriter that was deemed the “essence of Latin cool” by Billboard magazine. You’ll learn a new song or two, and help raise funds for ACCION USA’s international counterpart, ACCION International.
Who knew microfinance could be so cool?
