About Us:

Wisconsin Microfinance is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization run by students at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Our mission is to provide small loans to those living in extreme poverty. Tax-deductible donations are lent out to entrepreneurs in Haiti and the Philippines for them to create or expand a business, such as buying a simple sewing machine or a young cow that could produce milk. Through these business ventures, our borrowers earn a sustainable income and escape from poverty with dignity. Once the loans are repaid, they enter a revolving fund where they continue to fund additional loans and community projects for years to come.

During the life of the program, over 1000 people have received life-changing assistance! However, poverty continues to be an endemic in the developing world- Join us and help battle against poverty. To learn more, visit our website at: http://www.wisconsinmicrofinance.com/
