You can help a family fundraise for a better life. Make a loan.
Milaap does not lend directly to the beneficiary. We facilitate loans through micro-finance institutions [MFIs] operating in the beneficiary's area. These MFIs identify needs, manage loans under statutory guidelines, and disburse funds. The website supports raising funds for these MFIs.
