VOTE NOW For Social Entrepreneurs: G-20 Financing Prize « Skoll Foundation

The world’s small and medium-sized enterprises are the key to reducing world poverty, creating jobs and wealth, and ensuring a global economic recovery. But banks and the financial sector virtually ignore them, making access to capital and growth difficult, ultimately forcing too many to fail. The Group of 20 nations and Ashoka’s Changemakers are partnering on The G-20 SME Finance Challenge, naming 14 top SMEs from around the world. The best solutions will be scaled up and expanded with millions of dollars and introduced at the Seoul G-20 Summit this November.

The winners of the G-20 SME Finance Challenge have been announced – and they include two Skoll awardees. Now they need your help, please follow the links below and vote for these great organizations: the three most popular winners in online voting will share the stage with President Obama and the Korean President at the G20 summit in two weeks.
