"Sa - Punë" is a micro finance project from the ideas partnership (<a href="http://theideaspartnership.org/">http://theideaspartnership.org</a>/),<br />
an initiative from the author and activist Elizabeth Gowing (<a href="http://www.elizabethgowing.com/">http://www.elizabethgowing.com/</a>) and others working with her. </div>
<div>
The name "Sa - Punë" is based on the term "sa punë" (albanian for how much work), and is a play on words from the albanian (and italian) term "sapone" for soap.</div>
