Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for MicroLoan Foundation UK.

I've chosen two charities for the London Marathon.

A UK one - Maggie's Centres. An overseas one - MicroLoan Foundation UK.

A few words from MicroLoan Foundation UK:

We enable the poorest and most vulnerable people to work their own way out of poverty. We help them to save, and to build independence and financial resilience.

By providing them with the skills and tools to start small businesses we support them to become self-sufficient for their daily needs. Over time the money they generate from their own effort helps to provide food security, better housing, access to healthcare, and an education for their children.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

About the charity

We have provided loan capital and training to over 390,000 women to help them build small businesses. This also supports 1.6M dependents - 2M+ lives in total.
