Out of Poverty

FEBRUARY 21, 2008 THURSDAY AT 3PM CT

 


  Krishna Thapa, a dirt-poor Nepali farmer, went from barely surviving to earning almost five thousand dollars a year –- upper middle-class by local standards. He did this with the help of Paul Palok, a former psychiatrist, who designs tools and develops markets to lift the world’s poor out of poverty. We’ll meet him this hour on Here on Earth: Radio Without Borders.
