The objective is to establish loan programs managed by national loan committees with “seed” funds provided by FARMS. The families are then recommended by local churches to receive funding.
Loans range from $100 to $1200 depending on the scope of the project. Repaid funds are then “recycled” for additional loans creating a tremendous leveraging of capital and transforming communities. The FARMS loan program historically shows repayment rates of 90 to 100%.
FARMS International is a biblical approach to releasing families from poverty through stewardship and revolving entrepreneurial loans.
