Gift Package: Give a Haitian Woman a Micro-Loan

All Photos Small Businesses: The Heart of Success. In Haiti, it takes an entire village to ensure that citizens can make a living. This has never been truer, as thousands of people displaced by the earthquake struggle to find new sustainable livelihoods that will enable them to support their families. Haitian women are considered the center posts of rural families and communities, often supporting their children through small enterprises in addition to farming. Yet for many Haitians, the only micro-loans available to support their small businesses have been from moneylenders who charge exorbitant interest rates. Your gift will help to start a community-led micro-credit fund to provide Haitians with affordable loans for starting small businesses. As a woman repays her loan, the money will be used to replenish the fund and give even more women access to affordable loans. A small loan can make a big difference in providing the means for a sustainable livelihood.
