It’s not by chance that we meet; we all have the desire to express what’s in our hearts into this somewhat perplexing world. I’m writing you to share news about DiscoverHope Fund, a nonprofit rooted with a passion and vision to create a world that really works for everyone. I hope that if you resonate with this commitment, you will read on and can support the change we wish to create in this world.DiscoverHope Fund (DHF) is a 501(c)3 public benefit nonprofit seeking to lift women out of poverty by encouraging financial and spiritual abundance through microcredit and sustainable support systems. In essence, we want to contribute to the global effort to end poverty by giving small loans to some of the 3 billion people who live on less than $2 a day and are trapped in poverty so they cannot adequately feed, clothe, or shelter themselves or their families.Truly, it’s amazing to see how hope creates optimism and dignity for those who have no access to capital. With small loans of $50-75 dollars paid back over 4-6 month periods, we work with our beneficiaries to initiate and grow their small businesses. We watch them use their cultural traditions and skills to guide their investments—whether it is selling grains in the local markets, cooking peanuts on the streets, or weaving clothing—these women give their utmost to protect and grow their business as they know it means survival and well-being for their families.The value of microcredit is that as women pay their loans back and learn to save for their families, money is returned for further loans and a framework is created for these women to actively participate in their own economic advancement, personal empowerment, and life transformation.The long-term sustainable changes we hope to make are highlighted by trainings we develop that are designed directly from the desires and needs voiced by the beneficiaries. Examples of some of the capacity lessons include the following: basic business principles, money management, technology, health and well-being, communication, family, self-esteem and self-confidence, and compassionate living principles. We believe that credit accompanied by education can truly help to lift beneficiaries out of poverty.The work of DHF will help create a new consciousness of prosperity that women can pass onto their children, families, communities, society, and this world. We hope that you will be a part of this journey. As we begin this exciting feat, we are seeking to raise $20,000 for our “LaunchHope†fund to solidify our organizational infrastructure in Peru as well as begin our first phase of loans and training with women forming small village bank accountability groups.We do believe we have the power to change the world…and thank you for the myriad of ways that you offer your own vision for positive change. For DHF, this process is a vehicle for those in poverty to demonstrate their personal power and creativity. We have a commitment to generating the currency of Love for our world.If you are willing to support our commitment, please tell us how you are willing to help.
