Description

Today’s guest is Bernard Kervyn, founder of the NGO Mekong Plus.

We discussed how the organization’s work has evolved given Vietnam’s rapid economic growth over the last 30 years, shifting their focus to people who live on less than US$1 per day, offering microfinance while avoiding its well-documented risks, the different ways communities support each other in Vietnam and Cambodia, and the broader goal of eliminating - not alleviating - poverty.

You can support Mekong Plus’s work here.
