What we DO:
- All of our projects must have a sustainable development focus.
- We focus on projects that are simple in nature and will help communities get started on the basic steps of sustainable development.
- Our projects focus on teaching 'people' how to be sustainable at the micro level (we do not believe in free fish, we teach people “how to fish” on their own).
- We empower people like you to either fund or create sustainable development projects that will benefit communities at the micro level.
- We lend money with no interest rates to partner organizations to fund projects related to sustainable development and these projects must either;
- help local communities and/or
- social entrepreneurs and/or
- small business with at least two employees.
- We also raise funds for specific projects from partner organizations that are promoting sustainable development.
- In order to qualify for receiving the funds the partner organizations (or practitioner) that we fund, must agree upon working with one of our fellows.
- We want your community at the very micro level to be more self sustainable, which means a better environment for you to grow a business, work, play sports, learn how to protect your local ecosystem, and raise your family under healthier conditions! YES - this is possible, but it requires hard work and commitments!
- Please note that some of our partner organizations in the microfinance business have to bear large risks. Therefore, our microfinance partners need to charge interest rates on their loans.
