Hope International is one of the most recognizable names in microfinance around the world. Hope International gives poor people loans to purchase useful goods that will hope them to start a business and become self-sufficient. One thing that makes this organization attractive is that they have over a 99% success rate for getting investor’s money back.
While this is good to get your money back, another great option is to actually purchase practical gifts for these people. This is a great mission opportunity where you can provide gift options ranging from a sales stand where goods can be sold to rabbits which will provide a sustainable food source. Instead of helping people by giving a one-time gift of food or money, like so many are prone to, a gift of this sort can give people permanent food, pride, and hope.
