Debra Lynhold spoke on the Foundation for Women. Her emphasis was on a program sponsored by the foundation for women called microcredit. Microcredit helps people who are financial enslaved to obtain the opportunity to better themselves and give them financial independence. Microcredit has helped people and especially women throughout the world, ie. Niger, Zambia, S.Africa, and India.
