MRDS-Lebanon, a Lebanese-registered NGO office of MRDS-Canada (www.mrds.ca) is seeking for new funding (through capital investments/donations) for its microfinance programme.

This MF programme offers micro-credit (MC) loans in the $500-$2000 range, payable over 6-18months, as well as MED (Micro-economic development) training to its clients in South Lebanon.

We are looking to raise a further ~US$16,500 new capital for projected new MC-loans in 2010. The capital could come in the form of investments (with RoI offered) &/or donations from private donors &/or foundations/grant-making groups.
