Our organization acts as an intermediary in this process, transferring funds from contributors abroad to microentrepreneurs in China through our field partners.</p><br /><p><b>Who does Wokai support?</b></p><br /><p>A typical Wokai microentrepeneur is a female rural inhabitant, living on less than $1/day. Her <a href="http://www.wokai.org">microfinance</a> loan, ranging from $150-$300 dollars, provides her with the capital to start a small business. Her business varies by location, raising sheep in a rural grassland or operating a small fruit stand in a city center.</p><br /><p>With her income, she accumulates savings, which allows her to allocate money towards long-term investments like education and health. By the end of her loan cycle, she has experienced increased financial independence, bolstered self-confidence, and a strengthened sense of community.</p><br /><p><b>Learn more and contribute today at <a href="http://www.wokai.org">http://www.wokai.org</a>.</b></p><br /><p><i>This blog post is part of Zemanta's "<a href="http://www.zemanta.com/bloggingforacause/">Blogging For a Cause</a>" campaign to raise awareness and funds for worthy causes that bloggers care about.</i></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7097997559401789103-4577832074371927238?l=wokaisilentauction.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>JLnoreply@blogger.com0
