Micro-loans are efficient!
1. A small amount of money used to feed children does not go far, but that same amount, invested as a micro-loan in a caregiver’s business, can feed the whole family every day!
2. Your donation goes into a revolving pool from which money can be borrowed over and over again, as loans are repaid.
