Abstract	This paper introduces the reader to microfinance integrated with health and nutrition education as a promising strategy for Title II practitioners. The paper provides an overview of how microfinance, particularly village banking, can contribute to the food-security objectives of Title II. It describes a variant of village banking, called "Credit with Education," which was designed for the specific purpose of achieving food-and-security objectives. It reviews the available evidence that the "Credit with Education" model can be cost-effectively implemented to improve household food security and child nutrition among large numbers of the food-insecure poor. The paper considers the opportunities and difficulties created when "Credit with Education" is introduced as a sustainable financial/educational service into the more familiar mix of Title II non-emergency development programming. Three annexes are included (Status of Credit with Education Programs; Creation of Credit Associations: Credit with Education in the Community; and It Collapses Like a House of Cards). (Contains 34 references.) (BT)
