Hello everyone.
A very short post today with one question about this charitable scheme which helps entrepreneurs in ‘developing’ countries and only requires small, returnable donations to work:
https://www.lendwithcare.org/info/how_it_works
would you be interested in joining a team if I set one up?
Thanks to Jill Dennison, of Filosofa’s Word, for stimulating me into action with her ‘Good People Doing Good Things posts.
First off, MANY THANKS for the mention and the link to my post! Second, if you set up such a team, definitely count me in! I haven’t a lot of money, but will do what I can, and am glad to shine a light on your good works in any way I can! As we say over on this side of the pond, “You Da Woman!”
Hugs, my dear friend.

Thanks Jill – it relies on small donations and you can have them back when they succeed! But don’t feel obliged, will let you know what happens 🙂

Thanks Hugh!
Re that long walk and the International Money Order – they don’t do them any more! I have now acquired a $20 bill, now for an envelope! Slow, but steady progress!

We do this here informally. So far we have funded a sewing business and a welding business. Both are paying back on time. It is not that much money…but when you think that borrowing from a bank involves paying 25% interest and mortgaging all you have to obtain the loan then ‘free’ money makes a lot of difference.

I had a feeling you might already be doing something!
I think for me the great attraction of this from the donor’s perspective is that a VERY small amount can add up and then be re-used again and again. If not enough people want to sign up for a blogteam there are other people’s teams I can join – it was just a thought and I’m sure most of my lovely followers are already committed to various good causes. I’m smiling typing that – because I believe it. Now I’m beaming.

It is a super idea…when a group can pool its resources to make a difference.

This is being done locally here, too. So rewarding to see people grow as a person as they build a business.

I think four of us is enough for a starter team! Thanks Dale, will set the wheels in motion next week 🙂
