Micro-finance lies at the heart of the August-September issue of Rotary magazine. Rotary members have contributed more than £1.3 million through the charity Lendwithcare enabling entrepreneurs from developing countries across the world to build their own businesses. This issue tells some of those stories and also looks at how credit unions in this country are helping the vulnerable in a post-Covid climate. Others stories include how we can do more to tackle child abuse, a look back at 50 years of the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and we go to the front line of the climate crisis with disaster relief charity ShelterBox.
