Ready for some exciting news?! Lionsberg Africa has established a revolving fund to support grassroots leaders. Our first $1000 dollars was loaned to microfinance organization Jamii Bora Fund (means good families) and its fearless leader, Ingrid Munro. Jamii Bora Fund empowers street beggars to climb out of poverty through sustainable programs. The money lent by Lionsberg Africa was distributed to their struggling members in the slums as micro loans for small food businesses that the members rely on to support and provide for their families. Everlyne Liaka, a 48-year-old widow with 6 children, was one of the beneficiaries. She is planning to use the capital to work harder, improve her credit, and shift to the business of buying bales of used clothes to trade in.

“I was overjoyed and so happy. Getting someone to remember you during these hard times is a real miracle. But in my case I felt it was even more than a miracle.”

Everlyne's smile says it all.
