Lending for Evanston and Northwestern Development, (LEND), is a non-profit student group at Northwestern University that is applying the principles of microfinance to help alleviate poverty within the Evanston community. On Monday, they launched a campaign,
Invest Evanston, which will allow the group to use those same principles to finance entrepreneurs in the Evanston community. Donations from Northwestern students will be used to fund these low-interest loans for small business owners. In the next two weeks,
Invest Evanston hopes to raise at least $5,000, according to co-founder Sahil Mehta, a McCormick junior. The full story can be found in
