Providing Access to Micro-Loans, Financial Literacy, and More

There are large populations of people in developing countries who don’t have access to banks and other financial services. If they need a loan to start or expand their business, their only option is a village loan shark who charges very high-interest rates. This extremely harmful yet common lending practice traps individuals and families in a cycle of debt that is nearly impossible to overcome without proper guidance and assistance. At Mentors International, we are able to extend small loans, at an affordable interest rate, to those who demonstrate integrity and motivation after attending our business training courses.

This combination of mentoring, training courses, and micro-loans enable an individual to work their way out of poverty with dignity.

The average micro-loan from Mentors International was only $178 USD during 2022.

That is why we call this “Financial Solutions”. This is a solution, not a burden. These small loans provide opportunities, not challenges.

Perpetual Loan Fund

With our guiding principle of providing a hand up instead of a handout, the donor-recipient relationship is transformed. We serve only individuals and families who demonstrate integrity, quality character, and the motivation to permanently lift themselves out of poverty. Therefore, we know that when we extend a microloan, or microcredit, at an affordable interest rate, these individuals will pay back the loan. As these small loans are repaid, the payments are put back into the loan fund, where they are then loaned out to another individual or family. This process means that your contribution will have the impact of a perpetual donation that continues to help people long after the contribution is made.

The Power of Financial Solutions

Commonly Known as a Microloan

Thanks to generous donations, Mentors International is able to provide small yet impactful loans to those who would otherwise have no access to credit or other financial services. With these loans, entrepreneurs are able to start or expand their businesses and improve their earnings.

As their incomes increase, these entrepreneurs become able to feed their children nutritious meals, buy books and school uniforms, and pay tuition for better schools. Many eventually hire additional employees in their growing businesses, creating jobs, and providing income for more families.

Our Financial Solutions enable entrepreneurs in poverty-stricken developing nations to:

Purchase tools and
raw materials

Enhance productivity and
hire additional employees

Increase product variety

Satisfy a niche market demand

Improve product quality

In many circumstances, recipients are able to continue sustainably expanding their business without taking out additional loans. They are also able to further strengthen their family’s financial security through additional solutions that we enable them to access, such as savings accounts, life insurance, and health insurance.
