Family
Economic Empowerment Program
Our program is
divided into two levels. Upon completion of the 12-month program, families form accountability groups that begin meeting together for bible study, prayer, and form savings groups for various business projects. Once the groups are organized and working together, Eden Mission provides start up loans called Microfinance Loans.
What is a Microfinance Loan?
-
Eden Mission’s Microfinance Program is an established system that provides financial support to saving groups at minimal interest rate. This is an affordable credit facility that enables members to fund their various businesses and projects. These savings groups are well organized and work together in partnership with Eden Mission.
As accountability groups they provide encouragement and business advice to the group members as they seek to grow together spiritually, socially and economically. With the minimal interest start up loans provided by Eden Mission, these families are able to invest in different income generating ventures or expand their existing investments.
Eden Mission has been successfully monitoring and evaluating the progress of these saving groups and the positive financial effect they have created to the lives of these families. Many have registered tremendous financial growth as a result of these minimal interest loans.
