We loan because...
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has

About us
There are those... who enter the world in such poverty that they are deprived of both the means and the motivation to improve their lot. Unless these unfortunates can be touched with the spark which ignites the spirit of individual enterprise and determination, they will only sink back into renewed apathy, degradation and despair. It is for us, who are more fortunate, to provide that spark.
