Portfolios of the Poor is a book that captures minute financial transactions of selected poor households in India, Bangladesh and South Africa over a period of time, to bring out the intricacies of the transactions that they are involved in. It is the result of records that track penny by penny how specific households manage their money and details the amazing ways of financial management that poor households and their communities come up with.

MicroSave and the Financial Access Initiative invite you to join the authors of Portfolios of the Poor for a two-day virtual conference to discuss how to turn lessons from the financial diaries into real, on-the-ground solutions for improving the lives of the poor.

This event will be moderated by co-authorsDaryl Collins, Jonathan Morduch, Stuart Rutherford and Orlanda Ruthven, and MicroSave’s Graham Wright.
