Our artisans are smart and when given the opportunity, some resources, and the trust to do something big, they do something big. That’s where our micro-loan project comes in. Micro-loans are small scale loans given to someone for a specified purpose, that is then paid off over 2 or more years in small portions.
With this loan, many of our artisans start small businesses such as a road side fruit/vegetable stand; some pay for their kids to go to school or for their own schooling; some pay for a new home; and others pay for electricity their homes. The possibilities are endless! Micro-loans give them the funds to get a step ahead, while keeping the dignity of essentially doing it themselves.
