DiscoverHope Fund

Tonight we talked with Roger Moreno and Desiree Ledet from the DiscoverHope Fund. DiscoverHope Fund provides microloans (usually around $100) to women living in poverty in Peru. These funds are used to start micro-enterprise businesses which the recipients start themselves. In fall 2007, DHF began a strategic partnership with AFIDER, matching AFIDER’s cultural knowledge and experience in local microcredit with women with DHF’s knowledge of microcredit and development and desire to fund village banking projects in Cajamarca. We spoke with Roger and Desiree about how DiscoverHope offers Peruvian women the opportunity to experience a higher standard of living. DiscoverHope is hosting a party and silent auction on November 12th to benefit their clients. More info on this event is available at http://www.lendhope.org, and if listeners use the discount code "kvrx" when buying their tickets than they will receive a discount!
