Action Two Africa is thankful to announce that we have revamped our Microloan Program! After much consideration, planning, and a generous outside donation to fund the course, our first microloan class will be happening in Bungoma, Kenya, for parents of children in our Child Sponsorship Program. Our Microloan Program is fueled by the desire to economically empower families in our Child Sponsorship Program by providing small loans to start businesses. Caregivers of five of the children in our Child Sponsorship Program will attend a weekend microloan course led by Humphrey. The course will include basics on starting a business, marketing strategies, and how the microloan process works. Following the course, caregivers will submit their business proposals, microloans will be distributed, and Humphrey will provide ongoing support to the microloan beneficiaries and their families. Our hope is that by empowering families economically it will help to stop the cycle of poverty.
