More on EnVia, Oaxaca's own micro-finance group

We recommend Fundación En Vía in our guidebook, Viva Oaxaca, and on our website, www.si-oaxaca.com. They are a grassroots micro-finance group who have been helping people in Oaxaca to start  upgrade small businesses for several years now. This isn't a cold, impersonal business. They prefer for donors to come out with them to meet potential micro-loan recipients and see what the group is actually accomplishing. You can read a good summary of their work on MexicoMySpace. If you would like to help people in Oaxaca, this is an excellent way to start.
