Opportunities for single moms to work are limited in the villages. Most rural people have no financial means to begin a small business, especially in economically depressed areas. Your gift will provide an individual with a small, manageable, interest-free loan to start a trade or business.

In addition, providing a group of fathers and sons with a fishing boat or mothers and daughters with a sewing machine allows them to make a living and begin providing for themselves! Your gift will provide for economic development in a small village and give families and communities a new sense of purpose.

Suggested Gift: $450 for a Sewing Machine or $4,500 for a boat
