Don't know if you are familiar with organizations like kiva.org that give micro loans to people trying to start businesses.
I saw a news item on NBC? a couple of months ago about how this is replacing traditional bank biz loans for people in the US and abroad.
Here's a link to a women who wants to grow cutting flowers in Samoa.
Seems an easy way to help people and promote the green industry.
