Ugandan entrepreneurial women dub pop song “Price Tag”

HT to @AidWatch for pointing out this fun video – in which 500 women dance to ‘Price Tag’ by musician Jessie J. 

Nice! The intended message here is to support the use of microloans to help poor but enterprising people improve their livelihoods. Say the filmmakers:  “Every single one of these strong and resourceful women has started a business of her own.”

The video was made by a microfinance organization known as Microbanker. Humanosphere can’t vouch for this group or its services. There are literally hundreds of these microloan organizations, providing small loans and other services to help the poor.  All we know is we liked the video.

Share.
