Loans for a Better Life

In an uncertain financial market, even the most innovative and cost-effective entrepreneurs often do not have access to essential investment capital. This disparity is especially acute for many women in Africa who can barely afford to feed their children, let alone launch a business.

Through our program, active in Ghana, the GO Fund distributes low-interest microcredit loans to small groups of entrepreneurial women who then repay the funds with the profits they generate from their small businesses.

Their businesses range from palm oil processing, liquid soap production, and the sale of baked goods. However, one thing that all of these women have in common is that they are all battling HIV/AIDS, and are marginalized in their communities. This program is dedicated to not only increasing income of the women, but supporting the women to use their money to invest in the long-term health and safety of themselves and their family.
