'Zawadi Ndogo,' a short documentary, features the effects the small gifts microfinance organizations extend have on the lives of women in sub-Saharan Africa. Microfinance, also referred to as microcredit, is a banking strategy developed by Muhammad Yunus designed to provide funds to entrepreneurs in developing countries who lack access to credit. The documentary specifically follows the journey of one specific organization, Zawadi by Youth, a student-run group in Bronx, New York, as its members travel to Malawi, Boston, and more in the hope of fostering a sense of advocacy designed to inspire the younger generation to change the world, one loan at a time.
