Presbyterians investing to overcome poverty -

Besides producing money for the investor, well-placed investments can make a real difference in the lives of people around the world. By investing as little as a $1,000 in Oikocredit, an international Christian credit organization, churches and individuals can open doors from poverty to self-sufficiency.

Investing in Oikocredit will not make you rich. Investments earn up to 2 percent a year. But the social benefit far outweighs any financial disadvantage by helping to eliminate the gulf between the rich and poor. Recipients of the loans use this money to finance income-generating projects.
