What We Do |
|
We let you loan to the working poor |
| Social Lending Group lets you connect with and loan money to unique small businesses in the
developing world. By choosing a business on Social Lending Group.org, you can "sponsor a
business" and help the world's working poor make great strides towards economic
independence. Throughout the course of the loan (usually 6-12 months), you can
receive email journal updates from the business you've sponsored. As loans are
repaid, you get your loan money back. |
We partner with organizations all over the world |
 |
Social Lending Group partners with existing microfinance institutions. In doing so, we gain
access to outstanding entrepreneurs from impoverished communities world-wide.
Our partners are experts in choosing qualified borrowers. That said, they are
usually short on funds. Through Social Lending Group.org, our partners upload their borrower
profiles directly to the site so you can lend to them. |
We show you where your money goes |
| Social Lending Group provides a data-rich, transparent lending platform for the poor. We are
constantly working to make the system more transparent to show how money flows
throughout the entire cycle. The below diagram shows briefly how money gets from
you to a third-world borrower, and back! |
 |
We facilitate connections |
Social Lending Group is using the power of the internet to facilitate one-to-one connections
that were previously prohibitively expensive. Child sponsorship has always been
a high overhead business. Social Lending Group creates a similar interpersonal connection at
much lower costs due to the instant, inexpensive nature of internet delivery.
The individuals featured on our website are real people who need a loan and are
waiting for socially-minded individuals like you to lend them money. |
