You lend your money, on trust, to someone
in a country far away to help them earn a living. You choose whether to make a loan to an
individual entrepreneur like Haleema
Bibi (left) who embroiders shawls in her house in Lahore, or to people like Ricardo
Santos from the Philippines, (below) who runs a relatively
established business with paid employees and a regular income. The beauty of
lendwithcare.org is that the choice is yours.

It is quite fitting that as the holiest month in the
Muslim calendar, Ramadan, draws to a close this week and Muslims around the
world celebrate the arrival of the new moon, we at lendwithcare.org
will be celebrating the successful inclusion of our first Islamic Microfinance
partner, Akhuwat in Pakistan.
