A key aim of the MicroLoan Foundation is to enable families to become self-sufficient by financing and helping them launch small business projects.
Typical loans enable families to buy goods in bulk to re-sell in the local market at a small profit. Just a modest increase in financial resources from money generated through a small business can improve a family's food security and support the children's education.
Microcredit results in asset creation, employment generation and economic security. Read our Case Studies to see how effective microloans are in empowering people to become self-sufficient with dignity.
We are also active in the Philippines via The Philippines Self Help Foundation (PSHF). They help individuals in the Philippines to set up very small manufacturing businesses to sell products with added value.
"Microfinance is an idea which has come of age and MLF is a leading charity in this area."
