I just watched the Quiet Revolution segment on Nepal again and it too
documents a micro-loan program. A group of women in Danwar village start
a community bank and borrow to purchase piglets for breeding.


The Quiet Revolution is an independently produced tv series (shown on PBS
in the US) that focusses on 6 international development programs that
work. Two of the 6 programs are World Neighbors projects, including the
Nepal project above.
