Clients like Christine are using small amounts of money to take huge steps forward. With an initial loan of $60, Christine purchased a single roll of fabric, and she invested subsequent loans in expanding her selection of fabrics, diversifying into men’s clothing, and purchasing a new sewing machine. With her profits, Christine pays her children’s school feels and her family’s health care costs. She also generously tithes to her church and provides clothes to those in need.
