Pay It Forward: Lending Promise
Last month I attended a luncheon and the key note speaker was Meg North Taylor the Executive Director and Founder of Lending Promise. I was touched by Meg’s dedication to support mother’s in disadvantaged countries live a sustainable life and in the process support their children achieve their dreams.
So in this month’s Pay It Forward I’m excited to highlight how tiny loans can create big dreams with Lending promise.
Lending Promise gives microcredit – tiny loans – to mothers in the world’s poorest villages. The money enriches the futures of their children and ultimately, their broader communities.
Lending Promise gives small loans to women who are too poor to qualify for a bank loan, whose household income is about 50 cents per day. With the loans, they can buy resources to start businesses – whether it’s animals for a farm, seeds for crops, fabric for handicrafts or training to become a tourist guide. Lending Promise also provides literacy training and small business counseling to ensure that the women have the tools they need to be successful. The women’s new found self-sufficiency allows them to carve out a better life for themselves and much better futures for their children.
