Despite being the shortest month, February produced outstanding results for Wellshire Microfinance. Our group made 59 loans worth $1,625. We had investments made by a large number of our members. Our cumulative totals are now 866 loans worth $22,650. It's very gratifying to see that commitment to microfinance remains strong.
The prospects for March also look positive. We've already received word of six loans made by Club 45, our fourth and fifth grade group. Since February, 2012, Club 45 has made 26 loans under the direction of Holly Inglis and Dan Zuchegno. That's terrific!
In March, Wellshire Microfinance will concentrate on investing the donations in our restricted fund. Our next meeting will be on March 20 at 12:00 pm. We hope to see you there.
When we read about so much unrest in our world, it's good to know that we can do something positive to help the poor around the globe.
Wellshire Church partners with KIVA, an international program committed to alleviating poverty and creating opportunity through interpersonal lending.
