World Vision Micro

Meet an entrepreneur. Fund a loan. Give a hand up.

Micro lets you fund small loans to empower hardworking men and women in poverty. Connect one-on-one with the entrepreneur of your choice — each with a sound business idea, but no access to credit to qualify for a traditional loan. Then share in the joy of their success.

D055-0245-78_web In the village of Salasantuk, Cambodia, the average loan is under $125. Entrepreneurs in this village use their microfinance loans primarily to buy farm animals, fishing nets, or rice seed.

Your small loan is a proven investment, it will:

  • Go to a pre-qualified borrower
  • Have an average repayment rate of nearly 99%
  • Recycle to other entrepreneurs upon repayment
  • Help create jobs, start or expand businesses, and alleviate poverty
