Micro-insurance
When a member is living in poverty and trying to climb their way out, any setback can be disastrous. From health crises to business interruptions, individuals who are engaged in micro-enterprise can quickly erode any savings or default on a credit facility if they do not have the safety net of insurance. What experiences of developing and offering micro-insurance programs exist in Canada? Are there any small self-funded schemes that have proven themselves reliable for members, and sustainable for those organizations or companies offering them?
