Break down barriers for women entrepreneurs in Nigeria through our Micro-Loan Impact Fund. Here’s how it works: 1️⃣ You donate to the Micro-Loan Impact Fund 2️⃣ A woman receives financial training & a loan 3️⃣ She uses the loan to grow her business 4️⃣ She repays the loan at harvest & builds credit 5️⃣ Your donation becomes another micro-loan & the cycle repeats And with our 100% model, every dollar you give goes directly to women entrepreneurs. Give women like Rofiat financial independence for the very first time.

Your donation today will provide a female farmer in Africa a micro-loan to build a business 📈, establish credit 💰, feed her family 🍅, and create a brighter future ☀️. 100% of every dollar you give goes direct to women entrepreneurs. Plus, once the loan is repaid, the money is lent to another woman, repeating the cycle and multiplying your impact.

In Nigeria, 98% of women do not have access to formal credit, making it nearly impossible to open a bank account, secure a loan or build a business. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁. When you donate to our Micro-Loan Impact Fund, women in Africa will finally get the "yes" they deserve. Your support provides life-changing loans, as well as financial training, to ensure women can grow their businesses, build credit and achieve a sustainable income. Donate now to break down barriers for women entrepreneurs today.

In rural Africa, women rarely own their homes, land or livestock, and they often lack financial education or training. This makes opening a bank account — let alone acquiring a loan — nearly impossible. But through Heifer International’s Micro-Loan Impact Fund, business owners can build their businesses and their credit, giving them financial opportunities now and in the future. And with our 100% model, every dollar you give goes directly to women entrepreneurs.

🌱 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩 𝐢𝐧 𝐄𝐜𝐮𝐚𝐝𝐨𝐫 Since 2015, Heifer International has partnered with mangrove collectors across Ecuador. In 2023, that collaboration reached a transformative milestone: the Ecuadorian government granted custodial rights to nearly 9,400 acres of mangroves to four Heifer-supported associations — officially recognizing them as legal stewards of the ecosystem. With support from Heifer Ecuador, these associations launched 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫 𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐫, a new company connecting local collectors to formal markets, ensuring fair pay while preserving the mangrove environment. This is what community-led sustainability looks like: income stability for over 400 families, job creation, and a thriving ecosystem protected by those who know it best. 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥 𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞:
