We need your general financial support. It is also possible to get involved by adopting a number of participants or invest directly into our micro-finance and training scheme. We now have a large constituent of potential clients who deserve our services. We have been operating on a modest scale, but now we have reached the point where there is an increase demand for our services because of our different approach, mind set and delivery.
We need help additionally in capacity building: we welcome donations of office and administrative equipment, as well as volunteer work, especially with our website related duties.
A one time donation or regular donations are welcome and encouraged.
Most of the local entrepreneurs are self-employed and start their income-generating activities on a very small scale, usually with no outside assistance. They keep operating-costs low by using handmade or second-hand equipment and family labour. Businesses often operate from within the home. Unfortunately, they often have no future, since they have no access to capital beyond sources from family, friends, or professional moneylenders.
Though micro-finance is known to be useful, many people in rural areas do not have access to it. Additionally, institutional and human capacity to deliver services is lacking and investment is needed to build this up in an effective way.
Our services do not discriminate in giving out credits; on the contrary, women will form a greater part of our clientele. The proximate goal of a micro-finance project is to create income and employment in poor communities through the development of local micro-enterprises. In the process, this increases the financial well-being of borrowers, their families, and the community at large. The ultimate goal, in turn, is to fulfill economic, social, cultural and poltical rights in practice so as to realize humanity's dignity.
We have project proposals available for individuals and organizations. |
