With nearly 800 million people living on less than $1.90 day Rotary members are passionate about finding sustainable solutions to poverty.
We recognise that every community has its own unique needs and concerns and that the people in those communities know best how to deal with those. By working with micro finance organisations such as Lend With Care we empower local entrepreneurs to develop their local economies and reduce poverty in a sustainable way.
Along with other members of Rotary District 1210 we’ve loaned £437,271.19 through Lend With Care to help 35,305 entrepreneurs around the world to develop their businesses helping them to create 20,031 jobs in the process.
Our latest loans have been made to Janice, a shopkeeper in Cebu in the Philippines, who is using her to loan to help buy more stock to build her business, and to Hung, a cattle farmer in Vietnam, who’ll use his loan to expand his herd by buying three more breeding cows.
As Janice, Hung and the other entrepreneurs who we have made micro loans to repay their loans we’ll use the money to make further loans to other entrepreneurs helping to create more jobs and to reduce poverty.
Join Rotary now and help us to make a difference in local communities around the world.
