Insurance for the Masses

Insurance tends to be a privilege only those from middle or upper income brackets can afford. Founded in 2002 by Opportunity International, Microensure seeks to address this disparity by providing low-cost insurance products to underprivileged consumers in developing countries from as close as Bangladesh to as far as Zambia. Richard Leftley shares how insurance protection can be designed to accommodate those living in third world countries, those who face very different risks typically not covered by conventional insurance.
