Umbreen Ali, Media Manager for Asian Media Awards said, ���We are delighted to be hosting this event in support of LendwithCare.org. ���As well as unveiling our full finalists list we will be helping to highlight the valuable work of LendwithCare.org and CARE International.�۝

CARE has a long established presence across Asia and has been operating in India for more than 60 years and is currently working in 16 countries across the continent.

The charity�۪s innovative micro-lending initiative lendwithcare.org allows you to lend directly to people setting up small businesses in poor communities around the world. The entrepreneur will then repay the lender using the income from their growing business. Once repaid, the lender can then choose to recycle the loan to support another entrepreneur or even withdraw their money.

The Asian Media Awards will take place on Thursday 31st October at the Hilton Deansgate Manchester. To find out how to nominate see www.asianmediaawards.com. The closing date for all entries is 25th August 2013.
