Organization: Sevak Solutions

Description: Their are many innovative small businesses in countries around the world that don’t have access to the financial support that would help them get off the ground. Sevak helps develop “micro-finance institutions” and links these institutions and small businesses with resources, especially with technology. They do research and development is business models, help develop markets by bringing micro-finance institutions and banks into areas where they are most needed, and linking companies with other partners that will help bring their products into the market, and providing consulting to organizations who want to provide help to the small businesses.
I heard about Sevak Solutions from the 6/5/2007 edition of the People Powering Non-Profits podcast (http://podserver.listenshare.com/nonprofitstories).
