- Our aim is to glorify God by assisting the poor and impoverished in setting up various business enterprises, so that they can enjoy basic human rights, a reasonable living standard and become self sustaining. Upon repayment of the loan, we then use the funds again to help the next person. Hence we are using the same fund over-and-over again to help more people. We help the poor via providing them with a loan rather than a donation.
- At the end of the loan cycle the client had 500% return on investment. He could preserve enough seed of Ginger to support future ginger crops. Today, after five years he grows enough ginger and a variety of other cash crops spiralling out of the surplus sale of Ginger. But that wasn’t the end of the story…
- Sister Eli and Shankarlal were given a second loan to start a grocery business, the first business ever in the community they live in. This business is earning them over ₹ 150 – 200 a day on profit now. The business has also added up a small Refrigerator, diversifying the business to sell soft drinks and water pouches. This family is on its progressive way out of poverty now. We wish many more Eli Bai and Shankarlal in near future.
- Heeralal and a group of five other ladies were financed a bore well last year. They are able to grow wheat, aubergine, cucumber, ladyfinger and other vegetables with access to irrigation. Such crops are growing for the first time in their lives and the community they live in. They have now food sufficiency and also a decent income from the food surplus. Their income has grown by at least 3 times from the earlier income.
- Pratap was a stone artesian earning a decent income earlier. Unfortunately in 2005, his wife fell sick because of which he had to leave his job and stay back at home to care for her ailing wife. Meanwhile he became jobless for over two years. The family had to sell off most of their livestock to manage livelihood. In 2008 he got a job which was fetching him about ₹ 800 a month. He continued doing this job till he found our partnering organization in India, He joined them as their field coordinator which gave him an immediate leap in income up to 4 times the previous earnings. He availed a small personal loan to set up a small business for his wife, Bhavri Bai. Their small business earns them about 2 AUD a day on profit. They had taken a second loan to start up a honey business as well. Our third loan enabled them to dig a bore well and purchase a motor pump to create a history so dearly awaited for over generations. For the first time ever, Pratap was able to cultivate summer crops in 2014. But that was not the end of the story.... For the first time ever, Pratap Damor’s field appeared lush green in February. We saw him growing wheat, peas and onion. It was his first winter crop. The family is way above poverty now and he has already helped 250+ families move out of poverty in due course of time. However, the story hasn’t ended yet...
- Pratap has recently ventured into a poultry business as well. In a quick span of time, i.e. by May 2015 his income will touch five digit figures, a far-off dream for anyone like him who started off all afresh after loosing a decent income from his stone acumen.
- This is Mesari Bai with her financed goats. They were financed two goats from us. Goats out here are poor man’s cow. In a quick span of six months, their goatery has increased up to five. One of their goats bore them three bucks which means in a span of one year they will get 3 times return on their investment.
- Sister Sonu is from Badwani, Madhya Pradesh. Due to some psychological problem her husband can’t work. The family was highly impoverished. With great difficulties Sonu used to manage her household needs. Our microloan helped her start a videogame parlor in her home. Her micro-business, the first of its kind in her pseudo-urban locality, is supporting a decent income up to ₹250/- a day and her family is well supported from this initiative.
- This is Munna and Leela from Badwani region of Madhya Pradesh, India. With the support of our first microloan they could become the owner of a floor polishing machine. In fact, they have become the owner of three of them in two years span now. Their present income is way above the poverty line. In fact they have enabled three other poor guys to come out of poverty as well.
- This is Dayal from Budkuch in Madhya Pradesh, India. He was a recent convert to Christ and the goons were after him. As a labourer he used to stay away from home which wasn’t safe for his family. He came back home and became jobless. With the support of a first microloan he could start a modest road-side cafe selling tea and Indian snacks. His earnings are about ₹500/- a day on profit. A small microloan has supported to start off a small business for him. They are now planning expansion of this business.
- This is Johnson from Puniavhat Village in Madhya Pradesh, India. With the support of a microloan, he was able to start a wheat flouring factory in his village. This is the first factory of all kinds in his village. Needless to say this man has some prolific gain out of such venture.
- This is Guddy and her husband Champalal from Alirajpur, Madhya Pradesh. She was able to purchase a tailoring machine with the help of our microfinance. She is now running a small tailoring business to meet the local demands. A housewife turned micro-entrepreneur is gradually adding some decent income to the family.
- This is Munna Davar and Papita Devi from Badwani, Madhya Pradesh. This couple struggled for employment for an income not sufficient enough to meet their family needs. A small Microloan from us enabled them to purchase a pile of chairs which they lent on rentals now. Their rental business has grown up now to add a number of other assets to the business i.e. a manual trolley, tent etc. Their income is more than ₹1000/- a day now. This business is also supporting two other families earning up to ₹7500/- every month.
- This is Patras, Indian name for Peter right in the middle of the photograph. His family includes his Parents and his spouse. They recently had a new member to their family. They live in the Puniavhat village of Madhya Pradesh. Our microloan has helped him purchase a second hand Taxi. Patras runs three to four trips daily which is earning him a very decent income.
- Kamala Bai is a widow from Udaipur, Rajasthan. She was in desperate need for money to meet the medical expenses of her daughter who had a suspected malignant growth in her breast. The main line Banks out there refused her loan in absence of collateral. However, she was financed money by us to get her daughter operated last year. Her daughter has completely recovered now and is pursuing her higher studies. She is aspiring to become a Govt. School Teacher in India.
