You can help a family fundraise for a better life. Make a loan.
Milaap provides a global crowdfunding platform for interest-free lending. Milaap Social Ventures Pte Ltd and its subsidiaries do not originate or collect loans in India; that function is carried out by a partnering non-profit working with other non-profit micro-finance institutions and NBFC-MFIs at the grassroots. The partnering non-profit is authorised to bring overseas loan funds into India under the Reserve Bank of India’s External Commercial Borrowings (ECB) framework.
Lenders should see these loans as an engaging and innovative form of giving, without any financial expectation whatsoever. They should also note that Milaap loans are philanthropic and high-risk: you may lose some or all of your principal, defaults can occur, and any currency-exchange losses are your responsibility.
