This month, our members made 28 loans worth $700. We had some donors make multiple loans, which always makes our totals grow faster. Our cumulative totals through the end of October are 675 loans worth $17,450. Our members continue to invest regularly, including using up their loan paybacks.
Since the start of November, we have added 11 more loans which will be counted in the November totals. In addition, we will be able to invest our loan paybacks, which will add 10 - 12 more loans for November.
November is also the time for the Alternative Christmas Market. We hope to add new members at that time. If any of you would be willing to sit at our table for the ACM, please contact Wes Smits.
Thanks to everyone who participated in October. Your dedication to microfinance is so important to the success of our organization.
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!
