At CareLink, we consider Microfinance loans as investments, not gifts or donations. Our clients receive microfinance loans (typically $500-$1000) that enable them to start small businesses. This empowers them to become financially independent and leads their families on a path to long-term, sustainable progress. Providing microfinance loans to these families fosters life-altering financial improvement while promoting the dignity and self-respect that is achieved through self-reliance. This model helps break the cycle of dependence that causes hopelessness and a need for “charity.” Families repay their zero interest Microfinance loans over a period of 18 months to two years with flexible terms. Along with microfinance capital, our families receive financial and business training, which helps them achieve long-term success and independence.
