Micro-loans for street youth in Nigeria

There has been a fascinating series on Lagos on the BBC recently (might still be available on iplayer) called "Welcome to Lagos".

One of the things that struck me was that for all the perceived disadvantage from a western perspective they have an incredible work ethic and a really cool attitude to doing the best with what they have. They have extended the city into the lake for example in a mad cross between venice and a shanty town.

These people are the future - not us with our soft comfortable lives.

Don't bother with article. No information on the micro-loan program, just a Canadian film company begging for money to make a documentary about the program.

Great video, great program. Thanks for posting! (Correction, by the way, not a Canadian company but an American one, FYI).

Micro-financing is a great way to help entrepreneurs in other parts of the world. You can basically help startups, like YC, but in other industries and countries.
