Micro-Lending
Africa Bags micro-lending focuses on providing opportunity to some of the poorest people in the world by lending small amounts of money to enable them to start a small business within the rural villages of Malawi. Through the micro-lending process, instead of only giving a hand-out, you truly are giving someone a hand-up, an opportunity to be lifted out of poverty.

Africa Pads
One out of ten girls in Sub-Sahara Africa miss 1/4 of school days or drop out completely due to menstrual products being unavailable or unaffordable. These girls are much more likely to marry early and contract AIDS, thus continuing the cycle of poverty. To learn more about Africa Pads, click here.
