Sanabel's 2008 Regional Award for the Best Micro-entrepreneurs

Sanabel’s annual Microentrepreneur Awards Ceremony celebrates the achievements of exceptional individuals who have demonstrated the true spirit of micro-entrepreneurship. 

Thanks to support from the Grameen-Jameel Initiative, Sanabel is able to bring this year’s award winners to Tunis to represent the millions of microfinance clients from across the region who benefit on a daily basis from the work of the industry. 

Each year, it becomes more difficult to select “winners” from the many great nominations received by Sanabel.  This year a “virtual committee” made up of judges from five of Sanabel’s member countries faced the task of prioritizing criteria and carefully evaluating applications. 

While all successful microfinance clients can be considered winners, Sanabel is proud to introduce the “2008 Microentreneur of the Year” award recipients:
