Many people have approached us saying that they would like to see changes in the world but that the problems are too big and that they don't know how they could help. We decided to join forces with a group that organizes micro loans from people like you and I, to help small communities all over the world for as little as $25. You choose who to lend to - whether a mother of 8 starting a peanut butter business, a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay their loan, you get your money back. As much as 97.8% of the loans have been re-paid.
HOW IT WORKS
There is no reason, in world like ours, for people to go hungry, to die from curable diseases, for us to self destruct and to destroy our environment and the creatures that share this planet with us. For us to ignore the fact that we are brothers and sisters, small parts of a larger whole, and not to treat each other with care and compassion. Small loans are a very effective way to support communities around the world and make significant changes. Additionally, a large percentage of the purchases from our store (beholdersgroup.com) will be directed to microloans (as well as many other causes) and we as individuals will also be making donations. We hope you join us in this project. It's a powerful and sustainable way to empower someone right now to lift themselves out of poverty. Join our team. Together we can make a bigger difference.

We support most of our projects with proceeds from our store. Our store is supplied mostly by fair trade, organic or small community projects. A large percentage of the sales go to charities in the same area, for a total investment of 40-50% of the total price directly affecting those communities. |
