NAPERVILLE, Ill. - TelAve -- "Because There Was Margoth: One Good Deed Serves Another" is an inspiring new book about a Honduran woman who finds her gifts of business acumen and leadership after receiving a microfinance loan to start a small tamale restaurant. Despite conditions of extreme poverty, gang violence, corruption, and social injustice, Margoth's life is transformed. She uses her newfound skills and deep faith to dramatically improve living conditions for her family and community.

Hartman's personal faith is the driving force behind this book and its purpose to reduce human suffering in the developing world. More than 700 million people globally live in extreme poverty. In developing countries, where women and children are often marginalized and victimized, that equates to living on less than $1.90 per day. Recognizing that poverty can force women (and their children) into demoralizing and dangerous work to survive, Hartman set his focus on empowering people with entrepreneurial opportunities. The author explains that microfinance—small loans that fund business startups and expansion— is "a powerful force for good in the developing world."
