The micro-lending program has
been made possible through the support of Danny’s Team, a non-profit
based in Durham, NH. Through this program, women are offered small, no
interest loans for their small businesses. Most Women in Action members
work as vendors, selling items at traffic lights or bus stops or
carrying items for sale around local neighborhood or markets. Other
women have small home stores where they sell basic goods or food from
their own homes.
Before the
micro-lending program, many had to buy their products on credit. The
loans have allowed them to. buy products in bulk and
therefore, earn more money from sales. After two years, WIA
have had a 90% payback rate on their loans!
