Helping the poor lift themselves out of poverty

Helping the poor lift themselves out of poverty
$200 Changed Her Life
Mariyamma's family once struggled to afford food and health care. With a $200 loan from one of our local partners in India, CASHPOR, Mariyamma purchased land and began selling her harvest.
Millions of people like Mariyamma have lifted themselves above poverty through the power of microfinance -- tiny loans, savings and other services to invest in their own businesses. You can help:
