Microfinance with Education Training Program

Savings and Credit Associations Program

“Promoting Church-Centered Savings and Credit Associations” has been created by the Chalmers Center for Economic Development to support the promotion of savings and credit groups as an outreach of the local church. It is intended for use by persons or organizations who desire to help local churches become intentional about supporting savings groups that both create access to lump sums of money for the user and encourage a personal and growing relationship with Jesus Christ. Our primary motivation comes from a desire for individual lives, households and communities to be transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit working through change agents such as the local church and savings and credit groups.
