Give a Chance
Every year we donate a part of our profit to charity.
We finance credits to small entrepreneurs in developing countries.
It will be our pleasure to tell you why.
We are not alone in the world. We are doing well, and we want to share that happiness.
Our money is worth a lot more in developing countries.
No help, but giving chances.
Just like we got the chance, we support people who started their own business and want to grow.
To put it illustrative: we don’t give people a fish, but provide the money for a net.
What’s the surplus value of having your own business?
Your self-respect will grow if you have to make decisions by yourself.
It is often the only solution for people in an environment where there is no work.
It is good for your environment: you create work for your suppliers and employees.
How is it organized?
We loan grant credit through a trustworthy organization, instigated to grant credits to small entrepreneurs in Africa: My C4.
You can find them at: www.myc4.com
The loans are repaid within a certain period, usually a year, with interest.
Why a loan with interest?
We do not give presents, but we grant credit to people who have their own business and want to move forward. These people cannot get a loan from a regular bank.
The repaid money and interest will be held on an account owned by My C4, which provides a future loan.
Because we receive money every year and add new money, we will be able to support more and more people.
Is it monitored?
Yes. You can expect a short report of our support to small businesses every year: how much there is donated and to whom.
