Our team has made loans in about 30 different categories. Carpentry and construction supplies are number one with 13 loans each. Close behind are livestock and food sales with 11 loans each. Clothing sales and farming are also quite popular.
Do you see the pattern? Food, shelter, and clothing are the borrowers' most important needs. Their needs are just like ours, but certainly more critical. By applying for these loans, the borrowers are trying to do something to improve their economic situation and become self-sufficient. Our team wants to assist them.
Wellshire Church partners with KIVA, an international program committed to alleviating poverty and creating opportunity through interpersonal lending. Wellshire Microfinance is open to all, so please feel free to join and contribute! "... what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" -- Micah 6:8
