In this article, we focus on the challenge of eradicating poverty, a significant economic condition that affects billions of people worldwide. We outline the role of microfinance - the use of small loans to help poor people establish businesses - in eliminating poverty. We then describe the Mifos Initiative, a FOSS project to provide banking software to support microfinance institutions. Although we focus on the specific case where software is being used to address the problem of poverty, the approach and lessons learned can be applied to other great problems facing humanity.},
