Help The Poor has launched the "Small Loan Program" for quite a while and several projects are in the working. Several families all over the country are being helped with a small fund to start raising livestocks or starting a crop. This fund will be paid back after 6 months or 12 months depending on the interest-free agreement. The success of this program depends much on the local management of the local nuns and priests.

With help of "Group of Three Voluntary Bridge Builders", contribution of the local residents and support of local government officials, the bridge in Mong Tho was completed within one month from start.

Help The Poor continues its effort to build homes for the poor families who cannot afford to repair their homes because their earnings were barely enough for their daily meals.
