MicroFinance

According to Webster, microfinance means providing financial services in the form or microloans to impoverished individuals and groups in poor and developing regions. But in reality, it means much, much more than that. Microfinance transforms lives! It is providing financial assistance or investing in activities that allow people in the local villages to feed their families. With our support, individuals are able to start a business or expand their business or learn a vocational skill, allowing them to earn an income and provide for their families.

• ImaBridge has assisted business owners in the paint manufacturing and furniture making industries.

• ImaBridge financed a Palm Press business in Akwa Ibom State as well as renovated and expanded the overall Palm Press operation.

• We have provided sewing machines for entrepreneurs to start their own cloth sewing business.

We plan to grow additional palm trees and expand the overall production capabilities of the palm press for more entrepreneurs to start a business.  We plan to build a small farm for chicken, cows and goats to create additional business opportunities.  In collaboration with those we serve, we seek “not just to give fish” as the saying goes, but to give nets, so those we serve can learn to fish on their own.
