LOUETTE'S PROGRAMS & SERVICES
Micro-loans to families

Why these micro-loans to families ?
Many families do not have a regular income. Often, enterprising mothers open a little commerce in their home (Sari-Sari Store) or sell from door to door.
In order to start their business they need to invest a certain amount of money to begin selling clothes, vegetables, ... Often their only choice is to borrow money from a usurer at a very high interest rate.
The Foundation addresses itself to the needs of these poor families who are willing to work but who have no opportunities. This way Alouette contributes to making their everyday life a little easier.

The program
Under the program, poor people are provided with capital and loan assistance to start income generating projects such as sewing, "supot" making, food vending and "sari-sari store".

Other actions
Samoki Weavers Association is another group of people helped by the foundation. The Foundation not only provides financial assistance but it also promotes and markets the products of these people in other parts of Luzon and also outside the country particularly Europe.
