Thirty four percent of the population in the Philippines is poor.
Those trapped in the cycle of poverty are born into families that lack the resources to send their
children to school, to provide for their basic nutritional needs, and to, in general,
ensure a proper environment for them to develop, much less reach, their God-given potential.
A small injection of capital breaks this cycle of poverty.
Microfinance loans and accountability structures enable hardworking people
to grow their businesses into economic engines that generate enough income
to provide previously lacking life-essentials such as food, housing, basic
health care, and the hope for a brighter future.
The Center for Community Transformation (CCT) equips its partners with
the capital and motivational structures through which life changing empowerment
occurs.
CCT partners meet weekly in accountability
groups where they study the Bible, repay their loans, and increase their
savings.
CCT also provides such services as life
insurance, health insurance, and housing loans in order to equip partners
with tools that help them to improve their quality of life.
Because 98% of CCT’s partners repay their loans, the
same capital and resources that empower one family also equips another family
for moral and economic transformation.
Microfinance is a proven method of transforming the economic and moral
conditions of entire communities.
Through conscientious stewardship and a commitment to excellence, CCT has fine-tuned
the art of microfinance so that some of the branches in operation now pay
for themselves. Any additional income generated by these branches is reinvested
back to the partners in the form of other
programs that benefit them and their families.
When you contribute to CCT, you invest in a ministry that lifts communities
out of physical, spiritual, and emotional poverty.
