Natalie Portman’s New Mission
The Star Wars Queen has taken on a new mission — delivering life-changing loans to women in the developing world.
“If a woman can’t tell her child, ‘I can feed you tomorrow, I can pay for your school,” then where do they go? What do they do? What do they choose?’” she said in an interview on ABC News’ “This Week with George Stephanopoulos.”
The movie star will launch a new microfinancing initiative called the Village Banking Campaign, for the Foundation for International Community Assistance — FINCA. The purpose of the campaign is to launch 100,000 new community banks.
