Zakiyatou Oualett Halatine, engineer and economist who has helped many create and fund microenterprises as a way to peace and prosperity speaks with us over the internet from Mauritania where she lives as a refugee since much of her town, including her home and business were burned on February 1, 2012. The audio is inconsistent, but what she says is well worth listening closely. She tells us how to build a sustainable business, what it is like to be barred from returning to her homeland, and the difference between the way men and women conceive of starting a microenterprise.
