Five Talents is a microfinance development initiative of the worldwide Anglican Church. Using the Church’s ready-made infrastructure they fight poverty in the developing world by creating jobs in even the remotest communities, providing business training, and forming savings groups and small loan schemes starting at £25 - enabling an entrepreneur to start or build a small business, helping the owner as well as his or her family, co-workers and their families.
