Loans
Our mission to provide loans came about when elders in the community said, “We do not want to be beggars, we want our own income.” Our philosophy of awarding loans differs significantly from other micro-financing organizations.

Our micro loan program is unique because:

• Recipients are often people who do not read or write.
• Loans are interest-free.
• Loan contracts are specific to each family’s needs.
• Families are assisted with savings and long-term planning.
• Monthly monitoring of businesses is provided.
• Upon completion a donation is made to help others.
• Both men and women receive loans.

​
Connect Africa maintains a tremendous success rate of loan repayment that we attribute to our grassroots presence in the village. Our close relationship with each loan-recipient includes our assistance and advice at all times.
