Retail Development Bond

I recently read a news item about Daniel Bradlow, professor of Law at the Washington College of Law, American University.

He is trying to set-up an international bond issue as a fund-raising instrument for small and micro enterprises in Soutn Africa.

I have asked Bill Drayton and Meredith Lobel from Ashoka in Washington to meet with Professor Daniel Bradlow to see if we might be able to assist.

Wouldn't it be great if Sunstyle and other social entrepreneurs engaged in hybrid value chain projects could find investment through such a scheme?

Sunstyle could easily sell these bonds to its corporate clients and other investors keen to support this sector.
