OUR CHARITY
We are based in the UK and provide interest free loans to support students from a college in Cristino Castro and other villagers in the locality who want to start a small self-sustaining business venture or micro project.
MICRO PROJECTS
We are delighted to report that we are supporting 17 micro projects in five different municipal areas in the region of Cristino Castro, NE Brazil. They range from organic vegetable production, handicrafts, fish farms, cattle, pig, sheep and chicken rearing projects.
HOW IT WORKS
Projects receive a small interest free loan which enables them to get started. Once the project is underway they progressively pay back their loan over a two year period. The funds are then reinvested to support a new project venture!
FUNDING
The charity generates funds through monthly donations, various sponsored events and the sale of donated goods.
