MicroLoans from this Conference are intended for residents of Fairfield County, Ohio only.   There are neighboring conferences that may offer similar programs in their county.

The MicroLoan program is new to our Conference.  It is designed to offer small loans of up to $500 that are repaid by the borrower at a very low interest rate.  Eligible expenses include:

• Car Expenses
• Education Expense
• Health Expense
• Emergence Home Equipment Expense (unlivable situation)
• Other Extraordinary Expenses. (loans are not made for regular living expenses)

The MicroLoan program can serve as a good alternative to predatory lending companies that charge a very high interest rate and can trap the borrower in a cycle of debt.  Financial planning training is required to help the borrower establish a budget and manage money more effectively.
