In 2003, Sister Toni Temporiti traveled across Africa on a journey that would change the course of her life.
Along the way, she met women who worked tirelessly to care for their families, yet faced unimaginable choices. How far would they have to walk for water? How would they find enough food for their children?
Their conversations stayed with her long after she returned home.
She realized that what many families needed wasn’t charity alone. They needed access to an opportunity — a small loan, the resources to start a business, and the chance to build a sustainable future.
In 2006, that belief became Microfinancing Partners in Africa.
What began with one woman’s determination to make a difference grew into a mission connecting generous supporters with local partners and communities across Africa.
Twenty years later, that same belief continues to guide us: poverty should never determine a person’s potential.
And the ripple that began two decades ago is still growing.
How Microfinancing Theories Apply to All Our Programs
1. Microfinancing
Local grassroots microfinancing organizations offer training, support, and a reliable method of saving, borrowing, and growing a business.
2. Saving
Individuals start saving or investing effort in some way.
3. Training
Small groups train together and support each other.
4. Improvements
When the loan is repaid, the income project grows. Savings accumulate. Family nutrition, health, and schooling improve.
5. Transformation
People transform into donors and leaders, helping their neighbors and solving community issues.
