San Diego Micro-Finance

Donate/Lend

Your donation or loan to support microfinance can go towards a variety of organizations. You might choose to help Plant with Purpose, which helps community members set up community banks and teach them proper loan management. You can choose instead to make a loan online, which will not only help microfinance clients, but will most likely come back to you within months, since microfinance loans have a repayment rate of almost 100%. Loans through the websiteKiva.org can be as small as $25, or as large as you’d like. You could also choose to give directly to help organizations such as the Grameen Foundation; founded in Bangladesh by Nobel Peace Prize-winner Muhammad Yunus, it is the world’s largest bank which solely works with microfinance clients.
