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.
