Lumana Credit - Sustainable Gifts That Work

Keeping with the trend of the last post I wanted to mention a local non-profit with a different spin on gift giving this holiday. The idea is to stop the waste that goes into normal gifts and instead get your loved ones a meaningful present, something they can be proud of.

Lumana Credit, a Seattle based microcredit organization is calling it a “Gift That Works”. Through the whole month of December they are asking you to give a gift on behalf of someone special in your life that will have an impact that extends far beyond the holiday season. Your gift will quickly be put to work helping female entrepreneurs in rural Ghana. Lumana’s mission is to empower these women with micro loans and business education classes so that they can work to lift themselves out of poverty. These micro loans will build stronger communities in the rural world through empowering under served populations with the necessary tools for successful entrepreneurship.

Most gifts end up in landfills. This year, give a gift that empowers a woman to start her own business and invest in the lives of her children and community. Lumana Credit provides loans and education for rural villagers in Ghana with an impact that extends beyond the holiday season. Be a part of a movement to help lift people out of poverty through microcredit. These loans are making sustainable development in struggling communities a reality.

Choose a gift that can fulfill dreams. Check out their website to see how you can get involved and give a meaningful gift this holiday. www.lumana.org
