By providing micro-credits, Shalom Foundation enables poor families to start a small business. Whether it be a small shop, a soup kitchen, a laundry or a sewing business: Shalom provides starting capital and helps with the realization. With this simple and effective tool, local villagers have the opportunity to earn their own living so they don’t depend on foreign help any more.
