One of our very favorite eco, vegan actors,Natalie Portman, recently took to theFoundation for International Community Assistance’s (FINCA)website to talk about the earthquake in Haiti.

Portman is an Ambassador of Hope for the organization, which provides financial services to the world’s lowest-income entrepreneurs so they can create jobs, build assets and improve their standard of living. On the site, she said:

“The earthquakes that devastated Haiti this week only further the urgency of aid needed by this already-challenged nation. Haiti is a place where small loans can make a big difference.

“FINCA Haiti has always held a special place in my heart. Small loans make an enormous impact on the lives of Haitian women currently living on less than $3 a day. And now, more than ever, Haitian women need these capital inputs to help themselves recover from this tragedy in a sustainable way.

“As FINCA’s Ambassador of Hope, I am asking for your help. Please help FINCA Haiti provide the resources to our Village Banking clients so they can begin to get back on their feet and build anew. There has rarely been a more urgent need for generosity.

“Please give what you can, and I thank you for your continued support of FINCA programs around the world.”
