AVPN CEO Urges Capital Flow Toward Women's Economic Empowerment

The leader of a big organization called AVPN was asked where she would put money if she had some to give.

She said she would put it toward helping women become financially strong.

When a woman can manage money well, her whole family benefits for a long time.

In fact, she says helping one woman can help two generations of her family.

Women who start businesses are very good at paying back money they borrow.

Records from microfinance groups show women pay back loans more than anyone else.

Women also do a lot of the work in farming, which is very important in India.

So the AVPN leader believes helping women with money is the smartest investment of all.
