For the Changels first project we found a group called Kiva that make loans that change the world. Kiva seemed like the perfect fit for the Changels so the Changels got to work.
The Changels made several beatiful change boxes to collect spare change from their family and friend. We used some of the money we collected to make a $25 loan to help one person with a drugstore and one person selling canola oil. We hope that our loans are helping these small businesses and their owners.

Hi Changels,
I can assure you that your efforts in this arena will be most helpful in launching these people's businesses. A little seed money in this part of the world goes far. I have watched over the years the work of The Global Fund for Women which does something similar to your outreach, and I can tell you that the impact of this type of loan is enormous in so many of the third world countries. They really appreciate your helpful support.
Keep up the great ideas and work!
Margaret
