Perpetual Lending Machine

Because I reinvest the loans as they are repaid, I have ‘built’ a perpetual lending machine. Here are some examples of lives that have been changed.

At the time I made a loan to Keopheatra he was 20-years old from the Kratie province in Cambodia and pursuing a bachelor’s degree, majoring in engineering. His father is a Cambodian traditional-song musician and his mother is a farmer. Keopheatra didn’t have enough finances to cover his university fees so he applied for a loan. After graduation, he dreams of working so that he will be able to help his parents.

I also made a loan to Hasmik who is from Vayk, Armenia and lives with her son, daughter-in-law and grandson. She runs a stone processing plant in a garage and sells the final product in the local market. She applied for a loan to pay for the renovation of the garage and to purchase stone.
