The Townships Project has enabled more than 6,000 individual loans since its inception, working with local microlending institutions which employ loan officers who live in the community they serve. Each loan helps to support, on average, five family members, meaning we have helped to change more than 30,000 lives.

Here are 6 of the 6,000 stories:
