Day #110: Give through Hope International

Yesterday, I helped a friend get a website up and running after he told me how he gives a portion of his income to Hope International to be used for microlending.

Today, Stephanie and I made a small donation to Hope International. The organization focuses on alleviating physical and spiritual poverty through microenterprise development.

HOPE works with people from dozens of countries and offers an alternative to charity. Through microloans, entrepreneurs in underdeveloped countries can take pride in knowing that their own hard work has made the difference between poverty and provision.

I am a believer that microfinance is one way people like you and me can make a difference in poverty around the world.

Have you ever made a microloan?
