Microcredit has proven to be one of the most effective poverty alleviation tools in the world. The idea is simple--provide capital for people to start and grow small businesses in parts of the world where money is very scarce. Average loan sizes are $164, which can buy sewing machines, goats, or start a recycling business.
Team Members at Whole Foods Market Tanasbourne are trying to raise $16,000 to help support this great cause. We're promoting Whole Trade Guaranteed products, which in part, help fund the Whole Planet Foundation. In addition, WFM Tanasbourne is accepting donations of any amount over the internet. Lets help empower entrepreneurs in our global neighborhood!
Goal
$5,000
Whole Foods Market covers all operating costs of Whole Planet Foundation, so 100% of your contribution goes to microlending projects.
