Last night, while you and I were sleeping, something amazing was happening across the border in Mexico. YOUR money was hard at work. That’s right. Money from you, our donors, by way of the Share5 Fund, has been working day and night, around the world, bringing opportunity and hope to those who are less fortunate than ourselves. I recently received this update from a loan that YOU helped fund.

Elizabeth Anleu Rodas is a member of Los Pensamientos development group which received a Kiva loan of 65,000 pesos on 21 September 2009. Development groups are groups of more than 10 people which have a bank account and meet weekly or fortnightly to make their repayments. They have a representative and a governing committee. Los Pensamientos group are currently repaying their loan.

Elizabeth works selling fragrances and cosmetics and requested a loan of 1,000 pesos to buy more products and to repay a debt for products that she had already bought. Thanks to this loan Elizabeth has paid off much of her debt, she has purchased new products and she has made a small proft which she used to buy new sneakers for her grandchildren.

When you support Share5, you are supporting hard working women like her not only in Mexico, but also in Cambodia, Burundi, Rwanda, Ghana, Thailand, and the many other places that Share5 has made loans through the Share5 Fund.  AND… because we carefully look to make our loans through specific Christian organizations that provide the loans in the field, we know that the Gospel is being offered to address not only physical poverty, but eternal spiritual poverty as well.  Its a beautiful thing.  Its TEAMWORK in action.

So, thank you for changing lives… while you were sleeping!
