Caja Uniforms- Honduras

End Date: Sep 1, 2013 12:00 AM

The Microfinance program collaborates with local community leaders to set up a community-banking model made up of 10-20 community members. The bank provides community members with access to loans, savings accounts, financial education and investment opportunities in order to improve the overall economic situation of the community. The Microfinance team trains Community bank leaders on their specific function and general financial concepts related to the banking model.
The goal of the Caja Rural (community bank) is to be a mechanism for social and economic change within the community. Bank leaders are role models and educators within the community and perpetuate the importance of savings and financial planning.

Members of the bank are all equal shareholders no matter what position they hold. In order to promote equality and unity amongst members, the Microfinance team is looking to provide Caja uniforms to all bank members across our 8 different communities!

Help support this great initiative by donating a t-shirt to a Caja member! You can donate to provide an individual shirt for a Caja member or raise money with your chapter to provide uniforms for an entire Caja. Please see below for our fundraising goals for each Caja Rural:
