He said the first project to receive money will help identify where infections diseases are developing. In Southeast Asia and Africa, for example, Google.org will work with partners to strengthen early warning systems and take action against growing health threats.

Google.org will also invest in ways to help small and medium size businesses grow. Mr. (Walji) says microfinance is generally small, short-term loans that create few jobs. Instead, he says Google.org wants to develop ways to bring investors and business owners together to create jobs and improve economic growth.
Google.org还将以投资的方式来扶持中小型企业发展。Walji先生称,小额信贷通常都是数额少的短期贷款,它只创造了很少的就业机会。相反,Google.org想提供更多的方式将投资者与企业主联系在一起以创造更多的就业机会、促进经济的发展。
