MALAWI-MICROFINANCE-BANKING-POVERTY
TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY Justine Gerardy
Susan Sembereka, 29, stands in her shop in Salima on July 16, 2011. Sembereka found out the tough rule on group responsibility for a defaulter when one member of her five women "Happiness" group disappeared with 50,000 kwacha. But she still sings the praises of micro-finance. Malawi's microfinance lenders are giving would-be business owners access to capital in a country where 81 percent of people do not have a bank account. The system is a success for a country where frustrations at government erupted into deadly protests on July 20 and 21, leaving 19 dead in one of the world's poorest nations. AFP PHOTO / ALEXANDER JOE
