Microfinance Opportunities and Freedom from Hunger officially announced (pg 43) at the Clinton Global Initiative that they will invest over $3 million over the next 3 years in developing a financial education curriculum for the poor in developing countries. The project will be partially financed by Citigroup, the American bank which has invested heavily in microfinance in the past. The curriculum will be developed specifically for low income populations in Latin America, Asia, and Africa, and will focus especially on electronic banking. To enhance learning, several alternative channels will be used, including classroom learning and public billboards.
