We serve: Micro lending

Microlending

Since June 2009, Epiphany has been supporting entrepreneurs through Kiva.org.  We have supported 23 women and men working in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ecuador, Honduras, Kenya, Palestine, Pakistan, Paraguay, Rwanda, Sierra Leone, Togo, Uganda and Zambia with micro loans.  These loans, along with loans from other individuals, help them build their own businesses, loans they conscientiously pay back over time which we in turn loan out again to help more entrepreneurs.

We also read the book "One Hen" on how one small loan made a big difference for a family and their community in Ghana.
