The San Diego Filipino

We’ve been hearing a lot about microloans and microfinance nowadays. There is a group in the Philippines that has been doing this called the Philippine Self-Help Foundation. Their website is www.pshf.net. and email address is:  pshf@pshf.net or adminoffice@pshf.net. The website describes their work as such:

The PSHF’s main goal is to provide loans to poor families in the Philippines. The typical loan beneficiary would have an income of only 100 pesos per day and would be struggling hard to meet daily expenses from this. The PSHF’s intention is to encourage self-help, so the loans are used as capital for small businesses and repaid from profits.
