Since our founding in 2009, SGDF has lent out money to those in 72 countries, and that list is always growing at each of our Kivapalooza meetings. A few weeks ago, SGDF was able to add a new country to the list: Ghana. SGDF was able to contribute to a small business’ $2,900 loan which distributes fresh water throughout Ghana. We hope that with this microloan, more people in Ghana will have access to a freshwater source, which is already a resource which is limited in the country.
SGDF hopes that this loan in Ghana can serve as a gateway to our organization loaning even more money to the African Continent. The organization primarily loans money out to those in Central & South America, but we hope that this loan in Ghana can make way to the organization loaning money in even more African nations. At SGDF, we aim to provide microloans to those in every nation worldwide, and we are pleased to be able to add Ghana to that list.
