The Archbishop of Canterbury and a priest from Southern Sudan yesterday promoted the benefits of microfinance for the poor through the work of the charity, Five Talents.

A reception at Lambeth Palace brought together key players from the world of finance to hear about the role of microfinance in overcoming poverty. Rev Thomas Anei, a Sudanese priest, described his first-hand experience of these projects working with vulnerable communities in war-torn Southern Sudan.
