Buy Bags of Rice
Loan for a tiny business
ACCION International
Problem
Half the world's population - nearly 3 billion people – live on less than $2 a day. For many of these people, all they need is a little credit - a loan - to expand their tiny businesses and work their way out of poverty.
The Gift
With a loan of $50, a client could buy bags of rice and cereal grains to sell in the market. Then the client can use the profits from selling the grains to buy more inventory, improve their home, and to hire an assistant.
