Micro lending with Global Effect

In May 2011 Global Effect began micro lending in the Dominican Republic in order to transform communities by creating jobs.  

Throughout the years Global Effect has given a variety of loans to people in need. Some of the original loan recipients have paid off their first loan and borrowed money to sustain or expand their business through a second loan.  The average loan to start a business is approximately $500 US dollars.  Through this program we are seeing lives changed and communities transformed by giving people the opportunity to work and provide for their families.  

Micro lending is another way to spell HOPE in an area that is devastated with poverty.  If you would like to be a part of this effort, please contact us to find out ways you can share your talents with those less fortunate or make a financial donation specifically to the economic development efforts in the Dominican Republic.  

Remember, a $500 donation can start a business and provide a family with food, clothing, and shelter for many years in the future.
