What’s The Difference?
Many people give to charity instead of sending paper Christmas cards. We do it too.
What if we could find a very special charity? One that:
- treats the causes of poverty, not the symptoms
- has transparent overheads, not taken from donations
- has none of its money trousered by warlords or corrupt politicians
- helps people work their way out of hardship
- uses your donation over, and over, again
This charity is a crowd-funded bank that lends money to African entrepreneurs. Ten people donate £10 each and the charity lends £100 to start a business. £100 goes a long way in Africa.
This is Mmalemna Ayam. She wants a loan to grow and sell more onions to help feed her family.
When she repays our loan, we can lend it again to someone else.

Our first investment went to Lare Madigban. She lives in Togo, has a husband and five children, aged 3 to 13.
Some of the children go to school, but they are finding it ever more difficult to pay the fees, despite her husband’s job. Lare has her own business selling drinks and fried yams in a local market. She needed £80 to expand her business so they can afford the fees and to take on one or two employees to help the local community.
Our £10 investment topped her up to her target.
Guess what! Lare has repaid part of her loan already! We’re really pleased she’s doing so well.
