GLOBE, a student-managed academic program at St. John’s University, the Peter J. Tobin College of Business, provides loans to entrepreneurs in the developing world. Through GLOBE, students are educated about the world of microfinance while helping the impoverished help themselves and their families out of poverty. Students say: “We are committed to building a global community that is going to contribute to the goal of eradicating poverty within our lifetime."
"Give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day. Give a woman microcredit, she, her husband, her children and her extended family will eat for a lifetime." - Bono
