In spite of the high temperatures in July, the Wellshire Microfinance team did not slow down. Our July totals include two new members and eighteen new loans worth $450. Since September 28, 2011, our team, which now includes 36 members, has made 154 microloans worth $4250 covering 42 countries. Thanks to all who participated!
We expect to grow even faster in August. Watch the bulletin for the time of our next meeting. All are welcome to attend and help us invest monies on hand from loan repayments and generous donations. We welcome everyone's input in selecting new borrowers. If you are unable to attend, please email the names of people from Kiva's website who you feel would be worthy candidates. You can email your choices the night before our next meeting. Send them to smitswd@gmail.com.
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
