International charity Care is calling on people to get voting in its Grassroots Entrepreneur Awards to find the most innovative and determined small business people in poor communities in the developing world.

Lendwithcare.org is an arm of the charity which lets ‘investors’ lend money to hard up businesses owners in developing countries to support them and help them grow.

In most cases the money comes back and is lent out again to new entrepreneurs.

Readers of MoneyMaker Magazine (see link at bottom of article) are being asked to vote for the small business owners exhibiting the most creativity, enterprise and innovation in challenging circumstances.

The 10 entrepreneurs with the most votes will become finalists and a winner will be voted by a panel of distinguished people in business, including Sir Stuart Rose, Levi Roots and Nick Hewer.

Voting closes at midnight on 11 May 2014.
