From Seattle to Singapore: How Microsoft is taking lessons from young people
By Akhtar Badshah, Senior Director, Citizenship and Public Affairs, Microsoft
There are 1.2 billion young people on our planet today – more than ever before and the numbers continue to grow with projections of 1.5 billion young people by 2035. Many of them are doing amazing things. They are innovating, they are inspiring and they are driving real impact.
| We believe we can learn a lot from their work, their energy and their passion. We want to hear from them directly on the best way we can support them. That’s why we’re holding six events around the world starting in Seattle this weekend and then visiting Cairo, Singapore, Brussels, Beijing and Mexico City. As part of the events we’re launching the Innovate4Good @Microsoft community, a place where young people around the world can come together, collaborate, inspire and support each other.
Our goal is simple. Create a global movement for young people that enable them to:
These events and the Innovate4Good @Microsoft community are just a start. We must actively enable young people to overcome unique issues that no other generation has faced. The private, public and nonprofits sectors must come together to help youth cross the emerging opportunity divide between those who have the skills, education and opportunities to succeed and those who don’t. At Microsoft, we are creating a new set of programs, partnerships and resources, all focused on helping youth realize their opportunity in the world, whether they aspire to reach higher levels of education, start or grow their career, become an entrepreneur or generate social good. Please join us. It’s in everyone’s best interest. |

In regards to your question. My little advice is that you go to a bank in your area to request for the loan, and that is if you have a collateral, but if you want a loan from those that give out unsecured loan without a collateral i know of a loan firm that gives out unsecured loans, though he is the only one i have tried for now so i don't really know if their interest rate is the lowest. Few months ago when i had a bad credit, a friend of mine introduced me to them, inspite of my bad credit they were able to lend me a loan of $20,000 of which i used to revive my business, I think you too can do the same as well. Here is their contact information if you wish to contact them. (hai_ying43@yahoo.com) or ( contact@haiyingonline.com)
Regardless of your nationality, i am sure they can be of help to you.
Good Luck,
