The LiA Loan Guarantee Fund provides guarantees for individuals who fall through the cracks of the credit market.
Donors can either contribute as a gift or invest in the loan guarantee fund.
The artisans featured there benefit tremendously from the sale of their products online. Built in to the purchase price is also an amount that helps to support the LiA Loan Guarantee Program, which provides the artisans with access to credit to improve their businesses. Examples include ezines, online communities, office-mates, fraternities, etc. Tracking the results through the online donor report makes it fun to give as a group. Spreading the word, and encouraging others to take an interest in learning about Africa will help to further LiA's mission.
