To succeed in business, you must start with something. Sheer will does not give an aspiring businessperson money to buy supplies. People living in extreme poverty - especially women - are not able to borrow from banks, and local money lenders charge exorbitant interest rates, making repayment nearly impossible.
Global Peace Foundation ,World Concern provides that spark of hope, in the form of a small business loan, that is often the first step up out of poverty. Global Peace Foundation have seen how people seize the opportunities loans provide. Global Peace Foundation have seen the will to succeed flourish with the help of a microloan.
When you make a dollar a day, it's difficult to bear to pay six dollars to ride into town dozens of miles away just to visit a bank.
That's the situation men and women in Kenya face in some of the rural communities where Global Peace Foundation work. Because it's not feasible to bank in town, people hide money in their homes. With that comes the risk of losing it in a fire or being robbed.To meet the unique needs of these remote villages, World
Concern helps rural communities in Kenya form village banks. We - and
the customers - are pleased with how they work.
