The microfinance industry, for instance, may be resistant to some of the volatility now plaguing financial markets. That's because those who borrow in small amounts from micro lenders often work on projects unaffected by large-scale global banking travails.

The world's poorest are affected, though, by commodity price volatility and fluctuating food...
