Unlock Financial Freedom for Women Through Micro-Loans

Help women business owners in Africa build financial readiness and credit through our Micro-Loan Impact Fund.

Women face countless barriers to financial access — maybe they can’t sign their name, maybe they don’t have collateral or can’t prove their income. This makes opening a bank account — let alone acquiring a loan — challenging if not impossible.

But when you give to the Micro-Loan Impact Fund, you break down these barriers, giving women in Africa the opportunity to gain financial independence for the first time.

The Micro-Loan Impact Fund provides loans to women entrepreneurs in the Naija Unlock program in Nigeria.
100% of donations to the Micro-Loan Impact Fund go toward loans for project members.
Once a loan has been repaid, it is lent out again to another farmer, creating a domino effect.
