SALT Microfinance Solutions
SALT is an acronym for Shared Accountability, Lending, and Teaching. This CAM program reaches out to impoverished people through microloans, savings groups, and agricultural programs. A key component of the program is teaching, both in business principles and Biblical truths. Our goal is to walk alongside clients, helping them use the resources God has placed in their care and teaching them the importance of following Jesus in everyday life.

Savings Groups simply provide structure and teaching that helps a community work together to save money so clients can take out small loans.
The Agri-Plus approach helps farmers identify their resources and implement sustainable farming practices.
