How It Works

Microfinance offers dignity and hope to men and women living in poverty by providing a safe place to save money or offering loans to start or expand businesses.

Microloans

Clients receive a loan to start or expand their small business.

They usually have no access to banking, no collateral, no credit, and would otherwise never qualify for a traditional loan. Loans as small as $100 help pave a path towards dignity, independence, and freedom from extreme poverty. Clients use small amounts of seed capital to invest in their businesses such as selling tomatoes, baking bread, or sewing school uniforms.

Savings Groups

Nonprofits organize groups that meet regularly to save money.

Sometimes, each member may only have enough to save the equivalent of 10 cents per week. But as they pool their money together they’re creating a lump sum they can use for emergencies, school fees, livestock, and much more. The group agrees on interest rates and terms, and the members can invest the funds to start up or expand businesses.

Small Investment
Huge Impact

When you help provide a small loan to an impoverished
family, it’s not just a transaction.

It’s a life-saving gift with eternal implications.

Each family is assigned a local, on-the-ground loan officer who walks beside them each step of the way—giving sound financial advice and biblical counsel, praying for them, and encouraging them to use their loan proceeds in a business that’s sustainable.

Through this relationship, financial situations improve but people also learn to forgive. To love better. To parent better. Biblical principles are integrated into the entire program. Entire families are changing from the inside out through YOUR investment.

Our phase one goal is to raise $483,000 which will help
approximately 100,000 kids in need by helping their parents
with a microloan or a savings program.
