The Fōndespwa Process

  1. From the profiles of the women entrepreneurs, you choose someone in whom you are interested in giving to. After you have donated the money through our secure system Fōndespwa will directly pass those funds on to that specific entrepreneur. While most of them will already have received their loan (given their dire circumstances and their pleading for loans, it would be unconscionable to make them wait) they are sill in their 16 week loan cycle. So by your funding this loan, you are allowing her to move up the next step on the ladder out of poverty, where after 16 weeks she will be receiving a larger loan.

  2. Over the course of their loan payback period, Fōndespwa provides biweekly educational and training sessions to ensure the entrepreneur succeeds.

  3. After the 4 month loan term is completed and repayment made, your gift will then be used to fund the same entrepreneur for her next loan. So your original loan gets paid back and then goes to work to fund another loan. Therefore the gift you have provided is used again, again, again and again. Your gift is compounded, it is recycled... as they say, it is the gift that keeps on giving.
